Somebody’s Waiting
As I looked into your eyes I beheld a glad surprise, that there’s somebody waiting for me.

… for me.Swing the one, and leave the other (3x)…
for me.

Great Big HouseGreat big house in New Orleans forty stories high,Every room that I’ve been in is filled with pumpkin
pie.
Went down to the old mill stream to fetch a pail of water.
Put one arm around my wife, the other round my daughter.
Fare thee well, my darling girl, fare thee well, my daughter,
Fare thee well, my darling girl with the golden slippers on her.
