Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 17,·1910.

I am heartily in favor of the RochesterSong Book. It encourages the IIRochesterSpirit", and adds to the enthusiasm of ourpeople for their own city. Grouping to-gether in this manner the civic, fraternal,college and school songs will naturallystimulate local sentiment. and increase ourlove for Rochester.

The editors ought to receive the supportof loyal Rochesterians in their efforts toproduce a work of this character.

Very truly yours,H.H.EDGERTON,Mayo~

FOREWORD~~

/ HERE is a [field for a Rochester song book. Loyal love

, . of home and city is a proper sentiment, and song gives it

1...1: expression. The true lyric arouses the emotional faculties,r:"~, and conduces to psychical health, which is quite as impor-

tant as physical health. Song calls the soul from solitude

to communion with others and creates mutual sympathy.

The potential power of song to concentrate and intensify

feeling is everywhere recognized; in the home, the church,

the lodge room and the social or public meeting. It is the

eStablished medium through which men may get in har-

mony with their fellow-men.

This song book is the outcome of a plan to assemble

for Rochester a collection which will serve as a nucleus for a permanent

body of city songs. We believe this to be the first considerable attempt

of its kind for any American city. The material has been gathered from

two general sources: Firstly, were included available local songs which

already have been published and in general use; secondly, new contribu-

tions were solicited from all Rochesterians willing to assist, so far as known.

The Editors present this offering without pretense that their work is

anything but a Start in the right direction; no claim is made that the songs

are classics. We pass on the compilation to the public merely for what

it is worth, feeling confident that the book will find some measure of wel-

come. It has been deemed best in this first edition not to be too critical

or exclusive in judgment, but to leave to the people themselves the ultimate

sifting out of such songs as may be considered worthy of preservation in

later editions. If any of these songs contain the element of permanencethe public will discover it.

We have tried to include only songs having the necessary qualities

for general use; those with easy tunes, not too complicated in theme, and

possessing a musical range within the compass of ordinary voices.

In conclusion it need hardly be added that there will appear consid-

erable repetition of theme and phrase-a thing which cannot be avoided

in any extensive collection of local songs.

2.They read of ages past down in the river chasms vast,

And see the falls so misty where the water hurries o'er;On the banks of this old stream methinks the Muses used to dream

And then forgot and left to us a store of hidden lore.And talent, beauty, culture, wealth and industry combined,

What a golden opportunity to satisfy the mind.They're classical in Rochestt;r, the home for you and me,

Where Ontario takes the waters of the noble Genesee.

CHORUS.You can wander over yonder and thtJre's nothin~ to compare,A soothing sort of welcome here is floating in the air,If you tread the wide world overAnd return, the more you love her,For there's none that -ranks above herSo classical and fair. '

:3.We are working for the city, just to help the cause along,

With a little word of welcome and perchance a little song;The wanderer is staying here and wants no more to roam,

He invested here in quality and made himself a home.The city made the household goods and then he chanced to meet

A charmin'g little Rochester maid to have it all complete,And they're living here in Rochester as happy as can be,

Where Ontario takes the waters of the noble Genesee.

CHORUS. ,You can wander over yonder and thpres nothing to compare,A soothing sort of welcome here is floating in the air;If you tread the wide world overAnd return, the more you love her,For there's none that ranks above her

Old Rochester so fair.

2.Sometimes, when distant far from thee,

Some other bell may sound

Which, for an instant, strikes a tone

That makes my pulses bound;

A false and momentary bliss,

And then a something wrong,

Yet still it. speaks' of Rochester1And bears thy name along;

Ding, dong, ding, dong,

And bears thy name along.

3.The bells which tell the passing hours

Their watch like warders keep,

When in the busy noon they sound,

Or when I wake from -sleep;

And whether it be convent bell,

Or clanging city gong,

Yet still it speaks of Rochester

And bears thy name along;

Ding,dong, ding, dong,

And bears thy name along.

4.But sweete,st tone of all thy song,

Which chords with happy times,

Is hoard on Sunday afternoons,

From softly sounding chimes.

They fill our hearts with pleasant dreams,

Which carol forth in song,

And speak to us of Rochester,

And bear thy name along;

Ding, dong, ding, dong,

And bear thy name along.

1.

Rouse the good old tune again, we'll sing a soldier song,

Sing it to the army boys, who bring good cheer along,

Sing it with a chorus that shall echo loud and strong

When the Grand Army assembles.

CHORUSHurrah! Hurrah! the G. A. R. has come,

Hurraht Hurrah! the bugle greets the drum,

Pork and beans are waiting while the comrades cry"Yum Yum':

When the Grand Army assembles.

2.

Throwaway the years, my boys, some fifty less or more,

Forget your hair is growing gray, or parted wide before,

We are young recruits again, as 'in the days of yore,

When the Grand Army assembles.

JOHN S. BRIGGS Air: "Marching through Georgia"

1.

Roll the old piano in, we'll sing the same old song,

With the same old spirit, boys, that pushed the world along,

When cur fathers used to sing it, 4'fifty thousand strong~'

While they were fightin~ for freedom.

CHORUSHurrah! hurrah! they saved this land of ours,

Hurrah! hurrah! we'll strew their graves with flowers,

For the blessings that they brought, in never ending showers,

While they were fighting for freedom.

2.

Sing of how oU.r German ·comrades honored Fatherland;

How our dashing Irish troopers fell on every hand;

Of these glories we will tell_ a brave united band_

While they were fighting for freedom.
