Thread Name: Lyr Req: Four and Nine / Fifty Cents
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Four and Nine
"50 cents" was a favorite, much copied, sung by Sam Devere in the 1880s and published in sheet music form by White-Smith & Co., Boston, in 1885. Words and music by Sam Devere, who also wrote "Riding on the Elevated Railroad" and other songs.
I will post his lyrics shortly.
