| Comments: | Thank you so much for your great site. I'm an Eastender born and bred and my nan used to sing me all of the old music hall songs when I was a kid. Just hearing them again brings a tear to my eye. My daughter and I both suffer from lupus and are housebound, and I'm now sharing them with her and we have a great time singing them together.....totally out of blooming tune, but who cares!
Well done for a brilliant site. Jane |

| Comments: | I am the minibus driver for a small old peoples home on the Isle of Wight. On trips out we always have a sing song. It is difficult to find od music with the words so your site is perfect.
Have you tried angel radio for some old recordings. They play old 78's etc. This is the stream to listen live. I think they play old stuff up to 8pm. http://www.angelradio.info/64k.asx Brilliant work. Thanx Steve |

| Comments: | Yet another great site. My love affair with music hall started about 15 years ago when someone introduced me to the works of Max Miller.
I dont suppose anyone out there has got the words to "The end of my old cigar" which Harry Champion sang in his usual style? Keep up the good work, I shall be visiting with interest!! |

| Comments: | I am thoroughly enjoying your site. My Father, as a boy, sang in the local picture house whilst the reels were being swapped over. This would be after the First World War. He attempted to teach me quite a few of the songs. Two I have never been able to find are....
Dripping and bread for my Supper. This might be just the first line rather than the title.And---- It makes me sick, that a girl like me can't click. I wish somebody would come around and take me in the wood.etc. Not an ideal song for a young girl!I used to think the click meant a 'click' with your fingers. Ruth |

| Comments: | I am trying to find all the words to a music hall song my grandfather sang to my mother, my mother sang to me and I sang to my kids - or at least the bits we could remember. The chorus is: "I am a young colleen, I'm straight out from Ireland and all of the boys seem to chase after me. They think cos I'm Irish, there's green in me uptake, but ach they'll soon find that there's no green in me. I know which from whether and one from the eather. I know all their tricks and their lutherin' ways. So when they come round with their coaxin' and nashin' I only look at them and to them I say ... aaaarrah go on, you're only teasin','pon m' word you're mighty awful, lemme alone you're mighty pleasin', arrah go on, go widja go way, go widja go way go on!" Mum used to be able to sing the best part of 3 verses, one about a hod carrier, one about a policeman and one about the singer's true love, a soldier. I know most of the first verse, but I'd really love the words to the rest. Can anyone help? |

| Comments: | Great site - like several others, I'm looking for a song, but I don't even know if it exists, or was just improvised by a not-so-sober friend some years ago. The only line I can remember is "Turn Herbert's Face To the Wall, Mother" - I can't find it on the web anywhere, using any search engine.
Thanks Keith |

I was especially excited to read the Lambeth Walk lyrics -- a wonderful tune sung and played within a WWII tribute-play created by an Ottawa area writer and presented at our new Canadian War Museum
Thanks again, Howie PS: I really should record a piano or Midi version of "Till We Meet Again" for you -- for free ! Mind you, my voice is not match for my keyboards ! |

| Comments: | Hey - love your site! So many great old songs that my dear old nan used to like throttling and that she wanted me to learn to play on piano for her. At the time I loathed them and I couldn't read nor play very well............Now I can't stop trying to dig out these oldies and play them to anyone who wants them. Really great site and thanks, I'm using some of them with our primary school Victorian Christman special this year. Should be fun! |
