Subject: RE: Ida Sweet As Apple Cider From: Artful Codger Date: 30 Nov 05 - 04:31 PM This site provides the lyrics (including the second verse), a MIDI and a scan of the cover of the original sheet music: http://www.rienzihills.com/SING/I/ida.htm Some corrections to the information given there: The song was written in 1903, not 1930, and Eddie Leonard wrote only the words; Eddie Munson wrote the music. Lyrics and a MIDI also available at http://www.pdmusic.org/1900s.html. |

Subject: ADD: Ida Sweet As Apple Cider From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Dec 05 - 11:13 PM For the record, here are the lyrics posted at pdmusic.com "Ida! Sweet as Apple Cider" (1903) Words by Eddie Leonard Music by Eddie Munson 1. In the region where the roses always bloom, Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume, Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own, For, I know my love for her will never die; When the sun am sinkin' in dat golden West, Little Robin Red Breast gone to seek their nests, Then I sneek down to dat place I love the best, Ev'ry ev'ning there alone I sigh. CHORUS Ida! sweet as apply cider, Sweeter than all I know, Come out! in the silv'ry Moonlight, of love we'll whisper, so soft and low! Seems tho'-- can't live without you, Listen -- Oh! Honey do! Ida! I idolize yer, I love you Ida, 'deed I do. 2. When the moon comes stealing up behind the hill, Ev'rything around me seems so calm and stile, Save the gentle calling of the Whipoor Will, Then I long to hold her little hand in mine; Thro' the trees the winds are sighing soft and low, Seem to come and whisper that your love is true, Come and be my own now, Sweetheart do! oh do! Then my life will seem almost divine. (CHORUS) |
Subject: RE: Ida Sweet As Apple Cider From: Genie Date: 02 Dec 05 - 03:27 AM Thanks for posting all the lyrics, Joe. I didn't know the verses. FWIW, Eddie Cantor sings the chorus as: Ida! sweet as apple cidah,* Sweeter than all I know-ho-ho-ho, Come out in the silvery moonlight, of love we'll whisper, so soft and low! Seems like [I] can't live without ya, Listen -- Oh! Honey do-dlee-do! Ida! I do idolize ya, I do love to love ya, Ida, 'deed I do. DK if the stuff like "do -- dlee-do" was the original intent of the songwriters or something Cantor or other Vaudevillians added, but I think that stuff really "makes" the song. *It's important to make "cider" rhyme with "Ida."
