American Old Time Song Lyrics: 02 Don't Get Weary Children
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 2
DONT GET WEARY CHILDREN
As sung by Johnny Roach.
Oh Johnny, you've been a bad boy,
For to treat your true love so,
And if you don't stop your nonsense,
I'm gwine to let de old folks know;
When de sun rise in de mornin',
Down by de yellow corn,
Dat's de time de larks take warnin'.
When Dinah blows de horn!
Chorus.
Oh, don't get weary, don't get weary, children,
Don't get weary, bekase I'm gwine home.
Yes, Sally, I've been a bad boy,
And I ain't gwine to bother you no more,
If you'll give your hand to me,
We'll float to old Virginuy shore;
When de sun rise in de mornin',
Down by de yellow corn,
Dat's de time de larks take warnin',
When Dinah blows de horn!-Chorus.
