Lyr Req: Granny's Cozy Kitchen/Old Bohemian Town

Hi-

My father used to sing songs to us that he learned in England during the war and we are trying to track down two of them:
One seems to be called Granny's Cozy Kitchen and gos aomething like"

"What a thrill comes back to me
in the days that used to be
In Granny's cozy kitchen long ago

In a quaint old Inglenook,
I would read my storybook
as granny's voice came singing soft and low"



The other, that we think is Old Bohemian Town goes:

"In a quiet old bohemian town
where it's peaceful when the sun goes down
they are making her a wedding gown
they are making her a wedding gown
but not to marry me"

Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

We would like to play recording sof them at his memorial service- he passed away on 12/22

Many thanks-

Michael

Well, Sheet Music Warehouse in the UK has sheet music for "Old Bohemian Town," Words and music - A.Marsden and J.Kennedy 1935. that's the only mention of the song I've found. I imagine that "J. Kennedy" is Jimmy Kennedy of Ireland.

Thank you- I have seen that, but do not know if its the right one. Have you heard of Granny's Cozy Kitchen?
