Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Solomon Levi / Old Solomon Levy
From the version quoted above (Scottish Students' SongBook) here's the ABC. Done over two verses & choruses as there are changes to note lengths due to scansion (and I haven't got to grips with putting alternates in ABC):

X: 1
T: Solomon Levi
M: 6/8
L: 1/8
C: Fred Seaver
Z: NP 04/04/2018
K: Bb

w: 1)~My name is Sol-o-mon Le-vi; At my store on Chat-ham street, That's where you'll buy your coats and vests,_ And ev’-ry-thing that's neat; I've se-cond-han-ded ul-ster-ettes, And ev’-ry-thing that's fine, For all the boys they trade with me At a hun-dred and for-ty-nine. O Sol-o-mon Le-vi! Le-vi! Tra la la la! Poor Shee-ny Le-vi. Tra la la la la la la la la la._ My name is Sol-o-mon Le-vi; At my store on Chat-ham street, That's where you'll buy your coats and vests, And ev’-ry-thing else that's neat. Sec-ond han-ded ul-ster-ettes, And ev’-ry-thing else that's fine; For all the boys they trade with me At a hun-dred and for-ty-nine. 2)~And if a bumm-er comes a-long To my store on Chat-ham street, And tries to hang me up for coats_ And vests so ve-ry neat; I kicks the bum-mer right out of my store And on him sets my pup, For I won't sell clo-thing to a-ny man Who tries to set me up. O Sol-o-mon Le-vi! Le-vi! Tra la la la! Poor Shee-ny Le-vi. Tra la la la la la la la la la._ My name is Sol-o-mon Le-vi; At my store on Chat-ham street, That's where you'll buy your coats and vests, And ev’-ry-thing else that's neat.
