Click here Here is what I have of Nora Malone: Nora Malone Call me by phone Number one two three four (then very fast) Don't forget the number when you slumber, baby. Open your eyes When you arise Hear all the blarney from your Barney (then very fast) Barney from Killarney Colleens are few There's none like you In this old town of Athlone (very fast) Wisha wurra wurra wurra wurra. Old Erin's Isle Could not make me smile ----- like Nora Malone. ____________ Hey, maybe that is all there is to it and I've got the whole song. Is there more? Is there an introduction? Alice |

25 Jun 05 - 02:47 PM (#1509625) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nora Malone, Albert von Tilzer, 1945 From: Alice I have the recording on a cassette tape that is a mix of bits of singalong songs that are "Irish". I think I may have the whole Nora Malone on this tape, from what I transcribed above, unless there is an introduction. Maybe it will be on Lawrence Levy, since the date you found was 1910. Might be able to get the sheet music there. Alice |

25 Jun 05 - 03:05 PM (#1509636) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nora Malone, Albert von Tilzer, 1945 From: Alice Just found a reference to it at http://www.indianahistory.org/library/manuscripts/collection_guides/m0747.html#PRINTED publication dated 1904 with the first line "Nora Malone, long have I known..." a copy in the Indiana Historical Society archive. A bit of info there about Harry and Albert Tilzer.... Of Harry it says "...Following a string of hit songs, Harry opened his own publishing company in 1902. The area in New York City where Harry opened his company eventually came to be known as "Tin Pan Alley." Harry Von Tilzer is given credit for having inspired the phrase, though Monroe Rosenfield, a music journalist first penned it. Harry kept an upright piano in his office which had pieces of paper stuffed between the strings; when the keys were hit, this created a sound comparable to hitting a tin pan." |

He wrote, among others, "Take Back Your Gold" (For Gold Can Never Buy Me), and was described as "a melodic kleptomaniac"--in fact part of "Take Back" seems to have been lifted directly from a old main-line hymn called "I Would Be True". But I like the song. |

This link will lead you to sheet music. If I remember my Roman numerals correctly, the copyright date is 1909. You'll find recordings of the song on many Irish sing-a-long recordings. -Joe Offer- |

29 Jun 05 - 09:12 AM (#1512419) Subject: Lyr Add: NORA MALONE (McCree, Von Tilzer) From: Jim Dixon From the sheet music at the Lewis Music Library at MIT. (See the link above.) NORA MALONE (CALL ME BY 'PHONE) Words, Junie McCree. Music, Albert Von Tilzer. 1909. 1. Nora Malone, Long have I known How you've been teasin' When you should be pleasin' Your boy, my own. When you're away, I fret and pray Just to be hearin' A word that's endearin'. You should send me one ev'ry day. CHORUS: Nora Malone, Call me by 'phone, Number one, two, three, four, main. Don't forget the number While you slumber. Open your eyes When you arise. Hear all the blarney Of your Barney Carney from Killarney. Colleens are few. There's none like you In this ould town of Athlone. Musha wurra wurra wurra wurra. Old Erin's isle Could not make me smile Without Nora Malone. 2. I love to hear, Barney my dear, Weepin' and wailin' As though you were ailin' When I'm not here. I'll be your bride When love decides. Now stop your cooin' And your silly wooin'. I want to hear something besides. CHORUS |
