PUSH DEM CLOUDS AWAY.
Copyright, 1892, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words and Music by Percy Gaunt.
If you want to git to heaven on de nickle-plated road.
Just push dem clouds away;
Bring along all yer baggage and check it to de Lord,
When you push dem clouds away;
If de train am a-speedin' an' you can't catch on,
When you push dem clouds away;
You're a coon dut's gone, and wuss dan none,
When you push dem clouds away.
Chorus.
Just push! Don't shove!
Just push dem clouds away
Keep a-pusbin' an' a-shovin' au' a-pushin' an' a-shovin'
'Till you push dem clouds away.[Whistle]
Oh, de chickens up dere don't have to Scratch,
When you push dem clouds away;
All green And yaller is dat watermellion patch.
When you push dem clouds away.
If de people am a-yellin' for pie And milk.
Just push dem clouds away;
De angels dere all dress in silk,
When you push dem clouds away,- Chorus.
There'll be no boys a-puffin' cigarettes,
When you push dem clouds away;
They'll all have wings, those mammy's little pets,
When you push dem clouds away;
Old Gabriel's horn will toot and rour.
When you push dem clouds away;
There'll be no dudes around the stage-door.
When you push dem clouds away.- Chorus.
