SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY
1. Just down around the corner of the street where I reside,
CHORUS: Sweet Rosie O'Grady,
2. I never shall forget the day she promised to be mine; ------------------------------------------------------- THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY
She's the daughter of Rosie O'Grady, A regular old-fashioned girl. She isn't crazy for diamond rings, Silkens and satins and fancy things; She's just a sweet little lady, And when you meet her you'll see, Why I'm glad I caught her, The daughter of Rosie O'Grady! |

THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY
1. Yesterday while out a-walkin' I met a dear little girl.
CHORUS: She's the daughter of Rosie O'Grady,
2. I'm goin' to ask her to marry. I wonder what she will say.
Alice, P.s. The tune is different from Rosie O'Grady. |
10 Jul 97 - 05:37 PM (#8445) Subject: RE: Sweet Rosie O'Grady/the Daughter of Rosie O'G From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca I remember an episode where Bugs Bunny sings a few snatches of The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady. All these years I've thought it was one of Bugs' own compositions! Does this mean he didn't write "What Do They Do On Rainy Nights In Rio" either? |

From: GUEST,Tom Sweet Rosie O'Grady, She was Irish by birth; She swallowed a tapeline, She wanted to leave this earth. She wanted to die by inches, But finding that was too hard She backed out into our alley, And died there by the yard. |

From the sheet music at Indiana University: THE SISTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY Words by Frank H. Warren. Music by S. R. Henry. ©1918. "Dedicated to Miss Mabel Normand." 1. Just around the corner 'bout a block or two from me, Lives a blushing bride to be, And sure I am the chappie She soon will make happy. Her family is famous as I know you'll quite agree. Now I'll have to confess, For you never will guess Who this charming miss can be: CHORUS: She's the sister of Rosie O'Grady; sure it's Maggie I mean. She was three when Rosie was twenty and now she's seventeen. Saucy eyes that twinkle! Such a pert Irish nose! My steady lady is Maggie, sweet Maggie O'Grady. 2. Rosie had a quiet manner; that's not Maggie's style. Such a tantalizing smile! Sure the divil and all For this lassie would fall, And a dozen lads were buzzin' 'round my Maggie all the while, But you bet I won out, And in two weeks about, I'll be marching down the aisle— CHORUS: With the sister of.... |
28 Apr 15 - 02:17 PM (#3704916) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Rosie O'Grady + Daughter of Rosie.. From: Jim Dixon YouTube has a kinescope of Maude Nugent, at age 75 in 1949, singing SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY on Milton Berle's TV show. Unfortunately, she only sings the chorus: click. YouTube has many more recordings of SWEET ROSIE O'GRADY; I listened to several, but none that I listened to included the verses. Also, none of them seemed very old. Here's a recording by Gene Kelly of THE DAUGHTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY. It does include the verses. Here's another version from an Edison cylinder. Here's the famous Bugs Bunny version with only the chorus. I couldn't find a recording of THE SISTER OF ROSIE O'GRADY. |
