Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 44

THE JOLLY BOWERY BOY.
By Leontine Stanfleld.

You will find him at the race-track, He's the first one that you meet;
You will see him at the ball-game, in a cool and shady seat;
And if there is a boat-race, he's sure to be on deck;
You can't miss him -the jolly Bowery boy.

Chorus.
Oh, the jolly Bowery boy,
He fills your heart with joy,
And you will find that he is fly,
And you can't down him if you try;
| A politician he is from birth,
He knows every sporting man on earth,
And he'll stand by a friend to the very end;
That's him.-Who?-The jolly Bowery boy.

If you want to see the tiger, he can take you where he's found;
If Coney Island you prefer, he knows every inch of ground;
And if you want a pointer, he is with you ever time;
You can't miss him-the jolly Bowery boy.- Chorus.

You should see him at a party, oh, be is the ladies' pet;
All the pretty girls adore him, he's right in it, you can bet;
At every ball and picnic, no matter where you go,
You can't miss him-the jolly Bowery boy.- Chorus.
