wont you come over to my house
DESCRIPTION
"Won't You Come Home to My House" (1906)Words by Harry WilliamsMusic by Egbert Van Alstyne1.The time was in June,The bees humm'd a tuneThe perfume of rose fill'd the air,When just o'er the way,Sat a baby one day,All alone and so one one seem'd to care,But one passer by,Turn'd and look'd with a sigh,At the tears and the eyes swollen red,Then close to her breast,The young darling she press'd,And tenderly to her she said,CHORUS [sung after each verse]Won't you come over to my house,Won't you come over and play,I've lots of playthings, a dolly or twoWe live in the house 'cross the way,I'll give you candy and sweet things,I'll put your hair in a curl,Won't you come over to my house,And play that you're my little girl.2.Perhaps you don't know,That not long ago,These toys I am giving to you,Were my little girl’s,Yes, my one little Pearl's,And her eyes were like yours, large and blue,But one night I found,That the angels came 'round,And they took her way up to the sky,So don't stay away,But come over each day,Or you'll make your new Mama cry.TRANSCRIPT
