Songs of Love

Here is a great old fashioned love song on an Edison Cylinder Recording, called BEDELIA :11_2_1043:

I guess I should explain that Hayden Coffin and Evie Greene were very popular on the English stage and in 1902 had leading roles together. While Maurice Farkoa and Edna May sung and acted together on the American stage in the same time period...

Charlie Henry Hawtrey was considered the leading British comedy actor of that time and Wilson Barret was a famous British actor & playwright know for drawing very large crowds with his melodrama performances.

Sophie Tucker in 1911 singing SOME OF THESE DAYS :
Chorus:
Some of these days
Oh you'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely

You'll miss my hugging
You'll miss my kisses
You'll miss me, honey
When I'm far away

I feel so lonely
Just for you only
You know, honey
I've let you have your way

And when you leave me
I know you'll grieve me
You'll miss your da-da-da-da-daddy
Some of these days

NO, NO, NO! He was born way too late... It's this one Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1858) - Wikipedia
 
Harry Lauder 1908 Edison Record --- I LOVE A LASSIE


I Love a Lassie
Harry Lauder
I love a lassie, a bonnie Hielan' lassie,
If you saw her you would fancy her as well:
I met her in September, popped the question in November,
So I'll soon be havin' her a' to ma-sel'.
Her faither has consented, so I'm feelin' quite contented,
'Cause I've been and sealed the bargain wi' a kiss.
I sit and weary weary, when I think aboot ma deary,
An' you'll always hear me singing this...
I love a lassie, a bonnie bonnie lassie,
She's as pure as a lily in the dell,
She's sweet as the heather, the bonnie bloomin' heather,
Mary, my Scots bluebell.
I love a lassie, a bonnie Hielan' lassie,
She can warble like like a blackbird in the dell.
She's an angel ev'ry Sunday, but a jolly lass on Monday:
She's as modest as her namesake the bluebell.
She's nice,…
 
Harry Lauder --- Edison Record. 1908 --- STOP YOUR TICKLING JOCK

Here a longer Gramophone version 1907:

Stop Yer Tickling, Jock!
Oh!, I'm, courting a farmer's daughter.
She's one of the nicest ever seen.
Her cheeks they are a rosy red,
And her age is just sweet seventeen.
When I throw my arms around her neck and try to steal a kiss,
Oh, she'll wriggle and giggle and twist and twiggle,
And then you'll hear her shouting this-

Chorus
Will you stop yer tickling, Jock!
Oh, stop yer tickling, Jock!
Dinna mak' me laugh so hearty,
Or you'll mak me choke.
Oh, I wish you'd stop yer nonsense,
Just look at all the folk.
Will yer stop yer tic-kle-ing, tic-kle-ic-kle-ing.
Stop yer tickling Jock!

Oh!, she went to the seaside with me,
I thought she would like to see the sea.
Oh!, I did enjoy mysel' that day,
And I can tell you, so did she!
On the railway train as we went
Thro' the tunnels in the dark,
Oh, ev'ry time I wink'd at her,
The passengers heard her remark -

Chorus

Oh!, I went to the farm one Sunday,
Because she invited me to tea.
Her faither and her mither went to the kirk,
Which was a'richt with me.
What a lovely, lovely feed we had,
Of ham and eggs and bun!
Oh, and after that we had some treacle,
Roly poly just for fun -

Chorus
