--------------------------------------------------

Written in 1899 by Joseph E. Howard and Ida Emerson.
Classic tin pan alley song first recorded by Arthur Collins.

Note the last line of each was written to start with Em
with no lead in . . . but this way's funner.

Note also, the 3rd verse is sposed to be 1st and 2nd overlapping.
