Hello,
I am looking for a song that contained the line "by the clock" that would have been popular in the 1910s or possibly early 1920s. Any help would most be appreciated!
Please respond to rosenj@eudoramail.com.
Thank you,
AR

Sorry, the subject line should read "by the clock" not "by the lock." Also, this is a song that would have been popular in the US.
Thanks again.

"Just By the Angel at Islington" contains the chorus: Just by the Angel at Islington, Close by the clock that always is wrong. Sheet music is at Levy (Click here).

Might be The Pawnshop in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, which was a hit for Guy Mitchell in the 50s, but could be older. That contains the line "I wait every night by the clock"
