The version I have known and played for 50 years came from a piano bench in a state park. The ranger said, "Take them all, someone will just use them for firestarters.
Where Do We Go From Here?> published 1918 Written by Percy Wenrich and Howard Johnson Performed: Arthur Fields SCORE/SHEET MUSIC https://digitalcommons.conncoll.edu/sheetmusic/1729
Pad-dy Mack drove a hack up and down Broad-way, Pat had one ex-pres-sion and he'd use it ev-'ry day, An-y time he'd grab a fare, to take them for a ride, Pad-dy jumped up-on the seat, - cracked his whip and cried:
First Chorus: "Where do we go from here, boys? Where do we go from here?" An-y-where from Har-lem to a Jer-sey Cit-y pier, When Pat would spy a pret-ty girl, he'd whis-per in her ear: "Oh, joy! Oh, boy! Where do we go from here?"
Second Verse One fine day, on Broad-way, Pat was driv-ing fast, When the street was blown to pie-ces by a sub-way blast, Down the hole poor Pad-dy went, a-think-ing of his past, Then he says, says he, I think these words will be my last:
Second Chorus "Where do we go from here, boys? Where do we go from here?" Pad-dy's neck was in the wreck, but still he had no fear, He saw a dead man next to him and whis-pered in his ear: "Oh, joy! Oh, boy! Where do we go from here?"
Third Verse First of all, at the call, when the war be-gan, Pat en-list-ed in the ar-my as a fight-ing man, When the drills be-gan they'd walk a hun-dred miles a day, Tho' the rest got tir-ed, Pad-dy al-ways used to say:
Third Chorus "Where do we go from here, boys? Where do we go from here?" Slip a pill to Kai-ser Bill and make him shed a tear, And when we see the en-e-my we'll shoot them in the rear, "Oh, joy! Oh, boy! Where do we go from here?"
