Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Drummers Song? / Better Than Gold
Subject: The Drummers Song
This is a song my grandfather used to sing to me, what I enter here is all that I can remember, except that the story line was about drummers passing the time away each reminescing aloud of nostalgic memories of home, children, family, etc.

Song: In a pullman palace smoker Sat a number of bright men, You could tell that they were drummers Nothing seemed to bother them, When up spoke a handsome fellow "Come boys let's tell------- Something that will help to pass the time away"

"Just to see the baby rolling on the floor,---"

I do remember the melody or tune if I could locate all the verses.
