American Old Time Song Lyrics: 31 Never, Never, No More

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 31

NEVER, NEVER, NO MORE.
Copyright, 1887, by Meyer & Bro.

I'll sing of a place where trouble will reign,
Never, never, no more.
Where the rich man will take the laborer's gain.
Never, never, no more.
It's a beautiful place, though quite for away.
Removed from the world's temptation and fray,
And when asked to leave it, each one will say.
Never, never, no more.

Chorus.
Never, never, no more,
Never, never, no more,
And when asked to leave it, each one will say,
Never, never, no more.

The dudes at the corner, cigarette in their hand.
Never, never, no more.
They'll be nibbling their canes and like statues will stand,
Never, never, no more.
They will powder their faces and bang their front hair,
Then blushingly at ev'ry lady they'll stare.
Then pluck up courage to shout," Ah there,"
Never, never, no more.

Chorus.
Never, never, no more,
Never, never, no more,
They pluck up courage to shout, "Ah there,"
Never, never, no more.

The girls will be giddy and flirt in the street.
Never, never, no more.
They'll wear number five shoes on number ten feet.
Never, never, no more.
They will bleach out their hair to a nice yellow gold.
Then try to look girlish when forty years old,
If you should try to kiss them, they say you're so bold.
Never, never, no more.

Chorus.
Never, never, no more.
Never, never, no more.
If you should try to kiss them, they say you're so bold,
Never, never, no more.

Jay Gould, with his millions, will cause men to strike.
Never, never, no more.
And force working people to do as he likes.
Never, never, no more.
An honest day's labor with an honest day's pay
Each workingman wants, and he'll have it. that way;
If he's once been imposed on, in future he'll say:
Never, never, no more.

CHORUS.
Never, never, no more,
Never, never, no more.
If he's once been imposed on, in future he'll say:
Never, never, no more.
