In the need that bows us thus, America! Shape a mighty song for us, America!

Lift the trumpet to thy mouth, America! East and West and North and South, America!
Call us round the dazzling shrine of the starry old ensign,
Holier yet through blood of thine, America! America!
High o'er looking sea and land, America! Trustfully with outheld hand, America!
Thou dost welcome all in quest of thy freedom, peace and rest,
Ev'ry exile is thy guest, America! America!
Thine a universal love, America! Thine the cross and crown thereof, America!
Aid us, then, to sing thy worth: God hath builded, from thy birth,
The first nation of the earth, America! America!

lyrics by Berton Braley
We're marching on, marching on, marching onward to our goal,
Through the dark, through the dawn, bold of heart, and strong of soul.
Alma Mater's sons and daughters, lift your voices strong and clear.
Keep the swinging chorus ringing, so the world will hear.
U-rah-rah-rah Wisconsin! Oh let us shout with faith undaunted.
U-rah-rah-rah Wisconsin! Then let our banners all be flaunted.
For we'll march along together as we hear the music play.
Unafraid of wind or weather, we will fight and win the day.
__We'll march on victorious, oh Varsity, Varsity fair,
__Your name, forever glorious, will hearten us to do and dare.
__We'll march on victorious, the cardinal waving in air,
__And Badgers all, we'll answer to the call, and we'll fight for Wisconsin forever.

From the mountains wreathed and hoary, from the river and the plain,

__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
We are coming, we are coming, as the pilgrims came of yore,
We will rally round Old Glory as our fathers did before.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
With no malice in our bosom, with no hate, no dream of greed,
Where the stricken millions beckon, where the maimed and starving bleed,
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.

(1896) Sweet Lorena Ray song SM
lyrics by Dreamor R. Drake
Do you hear the wild birds singing, sweet Lorena,
With their songs the hills are ringing, sweet Lorena,
While the dainty dew drops fall, while the night is over all,
To my heart they seem to call, sweet Lorena.
__Lorena, sweet Lorena Ray, with your face divine,
__Smiles that brighten all the day, say you will be mine.
__Then no matter what betide, love will light our way,
__Happy with my little bride, sweet Lorena Ray.
To my mind a vision bringing, sweet Lorena,
And my soul a tune is singing, sweet Lorena,
Singing of a heart so true, it would break with love for you,
Break to bid it's dream adieu, sweet Lorena.
__Lorena, sweet Lorena Ray, with your face divine,
__Smiles that brighten all the day, say you will be mine.
__Then no matter what betide, love will light our way,
__Happy with my little bride, sweet Lorena Ray.
Do you hear the songsters singing, sweet Lorena,
O, the joy their notes are bringing, sweet Lorena,
While I kiss the golden hair, parted from the face so fair,
See the answer hidden there, sweet Lorena.
__Lorena, sweet Lorena Ray, with your face divine,
__Smiles that brighten all the day, say you will be mine.
__Then no matter what betide, love will light our way,
__Happy with my little bride, sweet Lorena Ray.
Eyes that charm my heart completely, sweet Lorena,
Lips that meet my own so sweetly, sweet Lorena,
Smiles that waft my soul away, charms that cheer my heart for aye,
Love that tunes my simple lay, sweet Lorena.
__Lorena, sweet Lorena Ray, with your face divine,
__Smiles that brighten all the day, say you will be mine.
__Then no matter what betide, love will light our way,
__Happy with my little bride, sweet Lorena Ray.

(1917) We'll Be There, Uncle Sammy patriotic march song SM
lyrics by William K. Devereux
We're just waiting, Uncle Sammy, we're just waiting your command,
And we're ready, Uncle Sammy, just to show you where we stand.
We are watching for your signal, when you flash it, we'll be there.
Raise your finger, we'll not linger, we'll be there!
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there,
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
__Tell to us the old, old story that you need us for Old Glory.
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
From the Northland, Uncle Sammy, you will find the Boys in Blue,
Down in Dixie, Uncle Sammy, Boys in Grey are with you, too.
Just you tell us that you need us; you can send us anywhere.
You can reckon when you beckon, we'll be there!
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there,
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
__Tell to us the old, old story that you need us for Old Glory.
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
You have tried us, Uncle Sammy, in the days of long ago.
Think of Lexington and Trenton, think of Scott in Mexico,
Think of Dewey at Manila, "Fire when ready!" just declare.
When you sic 'em, we will lick 'em, we'll be there!
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there,
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
__Tell to us the old, old story that you need us for Old Glory.
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
We've been neutral, Uncle Sammy, while you kept us out of war,
We've been patient, Uncle Sammy, though our hearts are sick and sore.
Now we're anxious for the battle, for Old Glory bright and fair.
Lead us to it, they will rue it, we'll be there!
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there,
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
__Tell to us the old, old story that you need us for Old Glory.
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
Not for treasure, Uncle Sammy, will we follow where you lead,
Not for kingdoms, Uncle Sammy, not for power or for greed,
But for freedom, Uncle Sammy, freedom here and ev'rywhere.
You're our leader, you're our pleader, we'll be there!
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there,
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!
__Tell to us the old, old story that you need us for Old Glory.
__We'll be there, Uncle Sammy, we'll be there!

lyrics by Richard C. Dillmore
In the field abloom with daisies, when I last beheld you there,
With the rippling wave of sunshine gleaming in your golden hair,
Daisies then to me seemed fairer than the rarest flow'rs that grow.
Can you guess why bright-eyed daisies thrilled my heart long, long ago?
In the field abloom with daisies, I will ne'er forget the scene.
There I crowned you with a garland, crowned you as the daisy queen.
Daisies, tell my love the secret that to you I did impart,
Tell her in your silent language, tell the story of my heart.

Come into the garden of roses, dear, and stand where the sunbeams fall,
Sweet perfume arises like like incense pure to one who is fairer than all.
__Beautiful garden of roses, kissed by the golden dew,
__Each pretty flower discloses virtues I find in you.
__White means your soul so pure, dear, red is your love most true.
__You are my garden of beautiful roses. My own rose, my one rose, that's you.
The roses that bloom in the garden, dear, must wither and fade someday,
But time only adds to the rose of love a charm that can never decay.
__Beautiful garden of roses, kissed by the golden dew,
__Each pretty flower discloses virtues I find in you.
__White means your soul so pure, dear, red is your love most true.
__You are my garden of beautiful roses. My own rose, my one rose, that's you.

I never thought the world could lose its sunshine, the sky its blue, or songs their melody,

__How much I love, how much I need you, and how I pray you'll care someday!
__If I could press you to my heart and make you feel the longing there,
__The burning wish to have you love me! If I could only make you care!
I envy ev'ry flower in the garden, and one of them I've often longed to be,
For I have seen you press them to your lips, dear. If you could only care as much for me!
__If I could only make you care! If I could only make you see

lyrics by Powell I. Ford
She is only a butterfly careless and gay,
And she's anyone's girlie they say,
For she flutters around where the white lights burn bright.
I wonder if some mother needs her tonight.
Perhaps she's like many another we see,
And if you should ask her the answer would be that
__She had no mother to guide her, no one to watch or to pray,
__No one to care if she wandered over the gay white way.
__No loving lips ever whispered "God keep you safe from downfall."
__She had no mother to guide her. She is one out of many, that's all.
Where the white lights are gleaming so mellow and bright
There is many a sad heart tonight,
For the laughter and song only serve to conceal
The pangs of regret and the sorrow they feel.
Each world weary lass has a tale of her own.
She fell by the wayside unwarned and alone. For
__She had no mother to guide her, no one to watch or to pray,
__No one to care if she wandered over the gay white way.
__No loving lips ever whispered "God keep you safe from downfall."
__She had no mother to guide her. She is one out of many, that's all.

lyrics by Harry D. Kerr
'Twas after school, the class had gone, the teacher saw him there.
He asked the boy what caused the tears and filled him with despair,
The boy replied, My parents, sir, came from another land,
And in this war the boys ask me to tell them where I stand.
The teacher filled with pride, then to the boy replied:
__Your father my be from across the sea from a land he may call his own,
__And your mother too may swear she's true to her king who is on his throne.
__But no matter what your station, you've just one obligation to answer your own nation's call.
__Stand by Old Glory, be proud to say, I'm an American, that's all.
The nations on the other side, where bloodshed reigns today,
Can't ask a son of Uncle Sam to take sides either way.
Your duty to your home and friends is strict neutrality.
And when they ask you where you stand, just tell them all for me
You stand right here today for good old U. S. A.:
__Your father my be from across the sea from a land he may call his own,
__And your mother too may swear she's true to her king who is on his throne.
__But no matter what your station, you've just one obligation to answer your own nation's call.

On 1917-04-06 the United States of America declared war on Germany.
On 1917-04-21 The Music Trade Review reported: "Sometime ago Mr. Schmid dropped out
of sight of his friends in the sheet music trade, and beyond the announcement that he was
engaged in other pursuits near his home city, Philadelphia, his later activities were unknown
to many. The Review scout has discovered Mr. Schmid doing mighty well in another line of
the music trade. In other words, instead of composing music he now sells it in the shape of
music rolls, being general manager of the Rose Valley Co., successful music roll
manufacturers in Media, Pa. Mr. Schmid is therefore supporting the interests of his friends
among the music publishers and composers by providing additional royalties for mechanical
reproduction rights. He declares that selling music rolls has some advantage over composing
for the fickle public." From 1917 through the early 1930s Johann C. Schmid served as vice
president and general manager of the Rose Valley Music Co., which produced and sold Ideal
piano rolls. Schmid hired skilled pianists like Ed Sheppard (1894-1964) and Schmid's
daughter Margaretta (1906-1990) to cut piano rolls. "By August 1919, Sheppard was under
the employ of the Rose Valley Music Co., manufacturers of several brands of roll, the most
prominent (and long-lived) being the 'Ideal' brand... Sheppard starts to appear in earnest for
the Rose Valley roll company around October 1922, no less than 10 of their releases for that
month crediting him as the artist. Other Ideal/Rose Valley rolls credit C(arl) H(einrich)
Leonhardi, Clayton Hallowell, and Paul (A.) Embrock as pianists. However these were in
fact pseudonyms used by one of the founders of the Rose Valley company, Johann C Schmid,
for his compositional efforts (amongst many other names). Although Schmid did hand-play
a few rolls for his Rose Valley concern, the rolls credited to his various pseudonyms are all
audibly easy to identify as the work of Sheppard, suggesting Schmid as the general
manager had assigned his compositional pseudonyms to also be 'house artist' names to
increase the perceived size of Rose Valley/Ideal to the consumer. (This was all revealed
in my correspondence in the mid 2010s with Lewis Thomas Jr., grandson of Johann C.
Schmid). Ideal also supplied rolls to the Plaza Music Company who released them under
their own 'Jewel' brand, and Sheppard used his wife's maiden name, L. Bradley, for the
Jewel rolls — although the exact same performances as the Ideal rolls. This made the Jewel
rolls seem more credible, as if they had their own stable of artists." On 1919-08-30 The
Music Trade Review
reported: "Johann C. Schmid, who in years agone composed many
songs and instrumental numbers that have ranked as big hits, has entered the ranks of jazz
artists, and is responsible for the melody of a new number, 'That Heavenly Jazz' (The
Religious Blues), which is to be produced as a word roll by the Rose Valley Music Co.,
Philadelphia, of which Mr. Schmid is now general manager."

Night is falling, small hearts calling for the touch of one they love
While the angels weep above.
Little ones bewildered sleeping far away from trundle beds,
With the stars their lone watch keeping o'er their weary troubled heads.
Guns of darkness, guns of darkness waiting there, destruction keep.
Do you dare disturb their sleep?
Hushabye, hushabye, dream your dreams of peace and trust.
These are the flowers from the dust.

Where soft Pacific breezes blow the rainbow mist in your hair.
On Ka-i-lu-a's shore, isle of magic lore,
Where we found our love 'neath the moon's silv'ry glow,
Music of soft guitars filled the breeze,
And stars cast their spell on us below.
The moon went drifting out to sea,
He left the stars to you and me,
Shining with hope so bright, watching there each night,
Waiting for you on Ka-i-lu-a's shore.

lyrics by Helen Martin
Reflection
Here in the purple twilight where beauty used to dwell
I walk through the paths of childhood in the garden I loved so well.
Nothing but ruin greets me. A bleeding heart in despair
Blooms by the doorless chapel as I breath my promise and prayer.
The Promise
Garden and chapel of my youth where I first learned of honor and truth,
I'll mend your door I promise you true, place all the flowers where they always grew
To invite weary travellers passing your way to share your peace and linger to pray.
This I will do before I go beyond the twilight's purple glow.
The Prayer
I breath my prayer because I know beyond the twilight's purple glow
Where angels guard the heavenly way and dim the twilight as I pray
That when the night brings silence deep God in his mercy will wrap me in sleep.

The trumpets call, our banners all are flying; drums are sounding, hearts are bounding,
We march to save where men are bravely dying, by the tempest tossed and whirled.
Though mothers moan and sweethearts may be sighing, we struggle till the foeman's flag is furled;
For the land which gave us birth, for the peoples of the earth, and the freedom of all the world!
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
From South and North we sally forth to battle; firm and steady, we are ready!
From West and East till war has ceased its rattle and the foe is backward hurled.
Till man is man and not a tyrant's chattel, till royal rags and pirate flags are furled;
For the safety of the state, for America, the Great, and the freedom of all the world!
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;

When the sons of our soil by the hands of their toil declared men equal and free,
When they set that as seal of American weal as promise for you and for me,
By their word and their sword and their pen they proclaimed it to God and to men.
__Let Truth and Right decide us! And if our hearts are void,
__Our hands are dust, our swords are rust, and we destroyed.
__But if our banners guide us to answer Freedom's call,
__Tho' you and I may fight and die, ours shall not fall!
As our purpose is pure so our Cause shall endure when the call of the bugles is heard.
For the hearts of our state be they lowly or great resound to our old old word,
And again and again and again we proclaim it to God and to men.
__Let Truth and Right decide us! And if our hearts are void,
__Our hands are dust, our swords are rust, and we destroyed.
__But if our banners guide us to answer Freedom's call,

lyrics by Leo J. Curley
Seems like all the girls are getting married, makes me just as blue as I can be,
Wish that I could get a fellow somehow, it's funny no one wants to marry me.
We have a lovely sofa in our parlor, and Dad's a cinch, but still the boys won't call,
Ma says when she was young they came a plenty, some nights she thought she'd have to hire a hall.
__I'm awful lonesome, lonesome, might as well be living in the moon,
__No one calls around at night to cozy up and hold me tight, I'll be an old maid soon,
__Gee how happy I could be kind of cuddled up on someone's knee,
__Like to put the fellows wise, think I'll have to advertize, lonesome little me.
Lots of girls aint half so nice I am, funny how they ever get a beau,
Dad just kids me something awful lately, he kind of smiles and says I must be slow,
He says to get some salt and I might catch one, and then he laughs till I could almost cry,
Next time I get a fellow on our sofa, I'll snuggle up real close, and then I'll sigh.
__I'm awful lonesome, lonesome, might as well be living in the moon,
__No one calls around at night to cozy up and hold me tight, I'll be an old maid soon,
__Gee how happy I could be kind of cuddled up on someone's knee,
__Like to put the fellows wise, think I'll have to advertize, lonesome little me.

Summer is the only time to coo and spoon,
When nobody's looking but the shining moon,
Strolling with your sweetheart while the stars are shining bright,
The only time for holding hands is on a summer night.
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime,
__Dreaming in love's dreamland with your baby mine,
__Stealing hugs and kisses, gee I think that's fine!
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime.
I'm in love with all the little cute sweet girls,
Some have eyes like diamonds, some have teeth like pearls,
In the park quite late at night I have a great old time,
I think that I could live on spooning in the summertime.
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime,
__Dreaming in love's dreamland with your baby mine,
__Stealing hugs and kisses, gee I think that's fine!
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime.

lyrics by J. R. Shannon
Twilight shades are creeping from out each rock and rill,
The golden sun has gone to rest way beyond the hill,
Tiny stars are gleaming like diamonds from the sky,
While nightbirds are singing their sweet lullaby.
__So journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
__Journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
Soon the golden moonbeams will kiss the silent sea,
The Sandman soon will weave his sweet spell o'er you and me,
Close your tired eyes, rest your head on Mother's breast,
For nature is sleeping, the whole world's at rest.
__So journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
__Journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
Hum - um, hum - um, slumbertime's near, sweet dreams, my dear,
Hum - um, hum - um, fairies will guard you, for croontime is here.

lyrics by James Stanley Royce
Sweet and low, sweet and low, soft evening breeze,
Comes from the happy land of memory bringing back again to me
The hours of fairyland rhymes, wonderful times at close of day,
While through the trees you sang your ever haunting melody.
Bring back those tender strains of Mother's soothing lullaby,
Moon swinging low, stars all aglow.
Bring the dancing shadows from the phantom long ago
When Mother sang sweet and low.
Bye-lo-bye, now close your eye, Sandman's coming by, so sly,
Dream sweet dreams till the morning dawn.
Sleep till the Sandman has gone to slumberland.
Bring back those tender strains of Mother's soothing lullaby,
Moon swinging low, stars all aglow.
Leave with me those mem'ries of that golden long ago
When Mother sang sweet and low.
(1921) By the Silvery Nile song SM
lyrics by Jack Yellen
Out where the pyramids stand on the glittering sand of an ancient land,
There I go straying it seems ev'ry night in my dreams and it only means
__I'll have to linger a while by the silvery Nile
__All alone in a bower. My sweet lotus flower
__Sighs to the stars in the skies
__While she's dreaming of me, wond'ring where I can be.
__Why did I stray so many miles away
__From her enchanting eyes that made a paradise of desert Egypt?
__She built a heaven for me just with one little smile by the silvery Nile.
She won my heart with a glance as in fairy romance, for we met by chance.
I never dreamed that someday I'd be feeling this way. I can only say
__I'll have to linger a while by the silvery Nile,
__All alone in a bower. My sweet lotus flower
__Sighs to the stars in the skies
__While she's dreaming of me, wond'ring where I can be.
__Why did I stray so many miles away
__From her enchanting eyes that made a paradise of desert Egypt?
__She built a heaven for me just with one little smile by the silvery Nile.

(1922) The Chimes of Liberty march song SM AR
lyrics by Leo Wood
There is music in the air, you can hear it ev'rywhere,
Far and near each tone so clear rings as it brings us all good cheer.
'Tis a song of happiness, ev'ry heart it means to bless
With its strains so appealing over us stealing like a sweet caress.
Like the chimes they ring out with the dawn
Spreading gladness like a hope new born.
North, East, South, West, you'll hear them ringing for you,
They're sending sunshine to each heart that beats true.
They're the chimes that fill the world with joy,
Thoughts of discontent they soon destroy.
They're chimes of gladness and they never will cease
In this land of happiness and peace.
__They're the Chimes of Liberty, chimes that ring for you and me.
__Where ev'ry loyal heart beats true they bring joy anew.
__'Tis a song of loyalty of a nation brave and free.
__Let us pray that they will ring for aye, our country's Chimes of Liberty.
Hear them ringing as they're bringing gladness to each heart.
Hear them saying while they're praying each to do his part.
Liberty, Liberty, Ah!
__They're the Chimes of Liberty, chimes that ring for you and me.
__Where ev'ry loyal heart beats true they bring joy anew.
__'Tis a song of loyalty of a nation brave and free.
__Let us pray that they will ring for aye, our country's Chimes of Liberty.
(1926) On the Pier march

Jewish musicologist Arthur Mendel (1905-1979) was an editor at G. Schirmer from 1930 to 1938.
During Mendel's tenure, G. Schirmer published The Schirmer Album of twelve GOLDMAN
MARCHES for the piano with vocal refrains
. These marches were by the Jewish composer Edwin
Franko Goldman (1878-1956). Seven of the twelve marches had vocal refrains by Arthur Mendel's
wife, Elsa Wissell. It was a custom back then for Jewish wives to retain their maiden names.
Edwin Franko Goldman's wife also retained her maiden name, Adelaide Maibrunn. In 1936, Carl
Fischer published The Goldman March Album for piano. Eight of the fifteen marches had vocal
refrains by Adelaide Maibrunn.

On the Heights arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Above the city's roar, above the pall of summer heat,
Glad strains of music soar, resounding clear on ev'ry beat.
Here joyful echoes ride far o'er the heights in sweet acclaim,
While music's swelling tide flows proudly through the Hall of Fame.
The Age of Progress arranged by C. D.
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
As seasons come and go, as the waters ebb and flow,
Changing patterns wrought by man weave new threads through life's plan.
Man has quickened Nature's pace, triumphed over time and space,
We are in the Age of Progress. You must match its tempo if you can!
Exposition arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Raise a cheer for the flag of our nation, for the rainbow of red, white and blue;
Let the flame of our father's creation light the pathway to glories anew.
To the men who have died for the living, to the emblem of courage and peace,
Let us voice an eternal thanksgiving in rejoicing that never shall cease.
College Spirit arranged by C. D.
Ours are triumphant dreams, hopes that rise on climbing wings,
High ambitions, thought which gleams in the mystery of things!
Let us then our college praise for the spendor of these days,
For the joys which shall be an unfading memory, grateful voices now we raise!
Equinox arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
The murmuring fields of corn bid Summer sad farewell,
And snow-covered branches mourn, held fast in Winter's spell.
But soon, from the dreamless sleep neath Earth's protecting wing,
The children of nature leap with joy to welcome Spring!
The Interlochen Bowl arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén AR
lyrics by J. Henry Francis
Oh, sound the call to dear old Interlochen, land of the the stately pine,
Where stalwart hands and loyal ever greet you, faithful for Auld Lang Syne.
Old friends you'll meet, new ones you'll greet, a welcome you'll ever find.
So sound the call to dear old Interlochen, shrine of the muse divine.
Tribute to Sousa arranged by C. D.
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Some men their names in hist'ry write as warriors brave who lead the fight.
Their fame, though now it shines so bright, is sure to fade quickly from sight.
The March King won his vict'ries brave in all the joy his music gave.
The Stars and Stripes above his grave forever and ever shall wave!
Cheerio arranged by C. D. AR
Shenandoah arranged by C. D.
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
O'er Shenandoah's hills, by Shenandoah's shore,

Shenandoah hail! A symbol let it stand

Cuckoo March arranged by C. D.
lyrics by Louise Elizabeth Goldman
Cuckoo! How merrily he sings! Cuckoo! What happiness he brings!
Cuckoo! Just listen to the joy that ev'ry little note brings from his throat!
Cuckoo! A very jolly song, cuckoo! It cannot be so wrong,
Cuckoo! To follow after him, cuckoo! And sing this song.
Excelsior arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Wake, wake, ev'ryone! Remember that dreams are spun of human endeavor.
Fortune's fitful light flares for a moment bright and fades away!
Onward, ev'ryone! Press forward each job begun, forsake it never.
For ev'ry goal that's won begins with a job well done. Begin it today!

The Emblem of Freedom arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Flag of Freedom, waving over land and sea,
Emblem of Liberty, thou makest millions hope, millions free.
Precious emblem of a spreading dawn,
The world sees light in thy bright light reborn.
Starry emblem of a nation loving peace,
Oh may thy stars ne'er cease to shine upon us all, and increase
Hopeful courage for all future time,
When Love and Right shall rule in ev'ry clime.
On the Air arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
On the air ev'ry day and night, music rare, sweet and clear and bright,
From all the earth the best, North, South, East and West.
Near and far listen in and hear. Where you are there'll be joy and cheer.
On the air just ev'rywhere, the message rings for all the world to share.
On the Campus arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén AR
tune and lyrics written by Duncan M. Genns in 1900
O grim grey Palisades, thy shadow upon the rippling Hudson falls,
And mellow mingled tints of sunset illumine now our classic halls,
While students gather round thine altars with tributes of devotion true,
And mingle merry hearts and voices in praise of N. Y. U.
Rah, rah, rah! Rah, rah, rah! Cis, boom, ah!
But college friendships all must sever and fade as does the dying day,
And closest kinships all be broken, as out in life we wend our way.
And yet whatever be life's fortune, though mem'ry fails and friends be few,
We'll love thee still, our Alma Mater, our dear old N. Y. U.
On the Mall arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén VR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
On a peaceful summer ev'ning when the sun has set,
And the cares of the day linger yet,
Don't be sad and don't be tired, there's a place to go,
Where there's rest brought by sweet music's flow.
Neath the trees with shadows dark the starry sky above,
There is calm, there is peace, there is love,
There, forgetting work and trouble, all may claim a share
Of Joy, Hope, and Courage rare.
On Parade arranged by E. L. AR
lyrics by Edwin Franko Goldman
Let's sing as we march along. With heads erect let's sing this joyful song.
With bugle and fife and drum, we're on parade, just wait until we come.
With flags flying ev'rywhere, music is in the air.
So come now and cheer the band. We're on parade, the finest in the land.
On the Farm arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Far away from the noise of the town on the farm, on the farm,
All the voices of nature resound, that's the place where peace is found.
The cows moo, the ducks say "Quack," the birds sing "Oh please come back!"
All my heart longs for home and its charms on the farm, on the farm.
Central Park arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
In our city so great and so fair is a playground for all folks to share,
Place for chidren's fun and play, free and open ev'ry day,
And for grownups a rest from all care.
Old and young should keep watch side by side, that it's beauty forever may bide.
Guard the trees and grass and flowers, for they all are truly ours.
Central Park is our joy and our pride.
Sunapee arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
A wondrous day for work or play, the whistle gaily seems to say.
It calls us out, for all about, for all about the world is fair beyond a doubt.
We stroll along and sing a song, our hearts are light, and hope is strong.
All nature sweet is ours to greet, a gift of love to keep us young.
Sagamore arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Sagamore, Sagamore, you were wise, your name we all adore.
Sagamore, Sagamore, your work lives though you are here no more.
You were wise, you were strong, and your power was felt from shore to shore.
Sagamore, Sagamore, oh may your Spirit o'er us ever soar.
Eagle Eyes arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Eagle eyes, always wise, guard us night and day, watching o'er our welfare wide.
Keep us sure, keep us pure, keep us true and gay, to our standards old and tried.
Eagle eyes, there's a prize, tis your country's best, for the ones who follow thee,
Tis a crown, tis renown, and from East to West an honor proud to keep old Glory free.

lyrics by Richard Henry Goldman
A scout is loyal and true. He's brave in word and in deed.

Young America arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzén
lyrics by Richard Henry Goldman
We march along and sing this song so gay and free,
For no more joyous band of students could there be.
In the class and in the field there are none to whom we yield,
For we've got a lot of pep as you can see.
So come along and share the spirit of the day,
For we are out to have a good time while we may.
We are anything but slow, so you'll hear it high and low,
When we give three rousing cheers: Hip, hip, hooray!

(1920) Waiting For the Sun To Come Out song SM AR
lyrics by Arthur Francis
When the clouds the skies are filling, and the songbirds stop their trilling,
Don't take it to heart, let worry depart.
Soon the sunshine will say, Howdy, skies are not forever cloudy.
Just learn to sing and never mope, there is a thing that's known as hope.
__Weary are the flowers, dreary are the hours,
__Waiting for the sun to come out.
__Yet while clouds are crying, I smile never sighing,
__For I know that presently the sun will come out and smile on me.
__Gray skies will be clearing, gay skies soon appearing,
__Chasing ev'ry worry and doubt, there's no use in having sorrow about
__While waiting for the sun to come out.
(1922) Yankee Doodle Blues song
lyrics by Irving Caesar and B. G. DeSylva
Say, here's a word I want to say, say, have you ever been away,
Have you ever missed the good old USA?
When you get that itching in your shoes, go to any other land you choose,
See how quick you get those Yankee Doodle blues,
__You're singing, There's no land so grand as my land, from California to Manhattan isle,
__North and South, my sunny skyland, I love ev'ry mile!
__When I hear Yankee Doodle, that melody keeps on ringing in my ear,
__Yankee Doodle, that melody makes me stand right up and cheer, I'm coming!
__USA, I'll say I love you! Make me lose those Yankee Doodle blues!

music and lyrics by Louis Armstrong
Me and Brother Bill went hunting, up in the woods of eastern Maine,
The reason why we went up there, we thought we could catch some game.
As me and Brother Bill were hunting, way in the middle of the night,
We shot at something like a grizzly bear, and the doggone thing turned white.
__Oh, I dropped that gun, and away I run,
__Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
__Had he known like me, he'd a run some too.
__I run so fast they say that they couldn't catch me all day.
__The way I run across that field, you couldn't catch me with an automobile.
Brother Bill got so excited, he really took a shot at me.
The bullet whizzed just past my ear and sizzled right through a tree.
I run until I was exhausted, my feet were dragging on the ground,
I said, "Big feet, come on and do your stuff, 'cause we're Alabamy bound."
__Oh, I dropped that gun, and away I run,
__Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
__Had he known like me, he'd a run some too.
__I run so fast they say that they couldn't catch me all day.
__The way I run across that field, you couldn't catch me with an automobile.

lyrics by Don Raye
Struttin' with some barbecue, swingin' with the band,
Like the happy people do, way down in Dixieland.
Hear that ol' trombone and the trumpet ad lib,
Love to hear the lick, while I do my pickin', pickin' on a juicy rib.
'Cause I'm struttin' with some barbecue, feelin' mighty grand,
Pass another helpin', please, of that good ol' Dixieland.
And Mister Waiter, if you please, another rib or two,
And I'll go strut, strut, struttin', struttin' with some barbecue.

lyrics by Lincoln Colcord
Fill the steins to dear old Maine! Fill as the rafters ring!
Stand and drink the toast once again! Let every loyal Maine man sing!
Drink to all the happy hours, drink to the careless days!
Drink to Maine, our Alma Mater, the college of our hearts always!
__To the trees, to the sky, to the Spring in its glorious happiness,
__To the youth, to the fire, to the life that is moving and calling us,
__To the Gods, to the Fates, to the Rulers of men and their destinies,
__To the lips, to the eyes, to the girls who will love us some day!
Fill the steins to dear old Maine! Fill as the rafters ring!
Stand and drink the toast once again! Let every loyal Maine man sing!
Drink to all the happy hours, drink to the careless days!
Drink to Maine, our Alma Mater, the college of our hearts always!
_______The University of Maine went co-ed in 1872. Yet "The University of Maine Stein Song"
_______lyrics written by Lincoln Colcord confined its expression to male students perspective, as
_______if drinking beer from steins was a guy-only thing. In The Maine Alumnus 1930 January is
_______an article: "Lincoln Colcord '04 Wrote Stein Song in Half Hour. Professor A. W. Sprague
_______of the Department of Music, tells the story of the origin of the Maine Stein Song.
_______Following the close of my sophomore year at the University I was filling a summer
_______musical engagement in Bar Harbor in orchestra and band work. On some of the concert
_______programs there was included the military march 'Opie', composed by Fenstad, a United
_______States Army bandmaster. One strain of this march was particularly striking as to melody
_______and rhythmic vitality.... The following year (1904-5) I received the appointment as
_______leader of the University Band.... Lincoln Colcord ... was my room-mate.... We were
_______preparing a concert program for presentation in Alumni Hall, and I handed one of the
_______band parts of the march 'Opie' to Colcord and asked him if it wasn't worthy of some
_______Maine words. He took it down to the piano in the music room and within a half-hour was
_______back with the Stein Song just as it is today." In 1910, Carl Fischer published "The Maine
_______Stein Song" version of Fenstad's "Opie" march. In 1927 and 1930, Carl Fischer published
_______versions of "Stein Song" arranged by Rudy Vallée that retained only the opening bars of
_______the 1910 march as an introduction to the song. The Rudy Vallée versions became so
_______popular in America and internationally that the 1910 march has been overlooked. The tone
_______of comradery inherent in the "Stein Song" has been especially celebrated in South Korea.
_______In 1930, Paramount produced a newsreel of the University of Maine honoring A. W.
_______Sprague (arranger) and Lincoln Colcord (lyricist) for creating "The Maine Stein Song."

_______In 1946, Chart Music Publishing House produced a piano arrangement by Charles Levy of
_______"Opie" march by E. A. Fenstad, renamed "Campus Cadets." Its tune is an octave higher
_______where "once again! Let every loyal Maine man sing!" would be sung. As for the guys-only
_______aspect of the Stein Song, that is not a problem in South Korea. Simply substitute wine
_______glasses for steins and the ladies are happy to join the singing.

When first our history began, Pennsylvania played a part.

Now we sing the praises of this state of ours we love:
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, finest state in all the land,
__With mills and mines and fertile valleys and brotherhood on ev'ry hand,
__In the Keystone place of honor, cradle of our liberty,
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, God will keep us free!
The azure skies reflect the flames of our factories and mills.
Our farms are finest in the land, nestled in the fair foothills.
Teeming cities, world's acclaim, honor for all, our aim:
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, finest state in all the land.
__With mills and mines and fertile valleys and brotherhood on ev'ry hand.
