JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE."
Sung by Lew SIMMONS, of CarnCross and DIxEY's Minstrels.
AIR. Just before the Battle.

Just before the battle, Mother,
I was drinking mountain dew;
But when I saw the Rebels marching,
Unto the rear I quickly flew, JEN
Where all the stragglers were flying,.
Thinking of their homes or wives,*»,
It was not the Rebs they feared, dear Mother,
But their own dear precious lives.

Chorus. Then, farewell, Mother, you will never
See my name among the slain;

I have no thirst for martial glory, A.
Fame and honor's all my eye ://
I'd rather be a bome-guard private,
Than a Brigadier come home to die.”).
Balt horse and crackers, dearest Mother,
Are not the things to make one brave,
And I assure you, I have no ambition,
To fill an early honored grave.

Entered according to Act of Congress, A. D. 1864, by SEP. WINNER, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Meet me to-night, when dewy stars

Are in the heavens set,

And we will bless the happy hour

When first we met.

Yea, meet me then, with winning smiles,
Beneath our trysting tree,

And there will I most fondly breathe
My parting vows to thee.

Chorus.-Meet me to-night, when dewy stars
Are in the heavens set,

And we will bless the happy hours

When first in love we met.

Since we, alas! are forced to part,

I care not where I go,

For by Fate's stern and harsh decree,

Seas must between us flow.

But thou wilt not forget me, then,
Oh no, it cannot be,

THE GAL WITH THE BALMORAL.

[ocr errors]

Tune-Jockey Hat and Feather.

Sung by E. F. DIXEY, of CARNCROSS and DIXEY's Minstrels.
As I walked down the street,

I met my charming Kate,
I ax'd where she was goin' to?"
She says, "I'm going to skate."
I walked close by her side,

And didn't we cat a swell,

With high-heeled boots upon her feet,
She wore a Balmoral.

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

My face was cut, my nose did bleed,

I was in such a plight,

I turned around to look for her,

But she was out of sight.

The young folks laughed, and told me e how

She took that other swell,

And ever since I faint away

To see a Balmoral.

O, there is fun, &c.
