American Old Time Song Lyrics: 24 Buy A Broom

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 24

BUY A BROOM.

From Deutschland I come with my light wares all laden,
To dear happy Boston in Summer's gay bloom;
Then listen fair lady and young pretty maiden,
Oh, buy of the wandering Bavarian a broom;
Buy a broom, buy a broom, buy a broom,
Oh, buy of the wandering Bavarian a broom.

To brush away insects, that sometimes annoy you,
You'll find, it quite handy to use night or day,
And what belter exercise, pray, can employ you,
Than to sweep all vexatious intruders away?
) Buy a broom, buy a broom, buy a broom,
And sweep all vexatious intruders away.

Ere Winter comes on, for sweet home soon departing,
My toils for your favor again I'll resume,
And while gratitude's tear in my eyelid is starting,
Bless the time that in Boston I cried buy a broom,
Buy a broom, buy a broom, buy a broom,

Bless the time that in Boston I cried buy a broom.
Spoken-Yes, I shall go back to my own country and tell them
there I sold all my wares in Boston, singing:
Oh, mein lieber Augustin, Augustin, Augustin,
Oh, mein lieber Augustin, alles ist weg;
Bock ist weg, stock ist weg, auch ich bin in dem dreck,
Oh, mein lieber Augustin, alles ist weg.
