The Sidewalks of New York (1894)

A waltz song and chorus that identifies the big apple. Lyrics: 1. Down in front of Casey's Old brown wooden stoop On a summer's evening We formed a merry group Boys and girls together We would sing and waltz While the "Ginnie" played the organ On the sidewalks of New York Chorus: East side, west side, all around the town The tots sang "ring a rosie" "London Bridge is falling down" Boys and girls together Me and Mamie Rorke Tripped the light fantastic On the sidewalks of New York 2. That's where Johnny Casey And little Jimmy Crowe With Jakey Krause the baker Who always had the dough Pretty Nellie Shannon With a dude as light as cork First picked up the waltz step On the sidewalks of New York 3. Things have changed since those times Some are up in "G" Others they are on the hog But they all feel just like me They would part with all they've got Could they but once more walk With their best girl and have a twirl On the sidewalks of New York ---------------------------------------------- words and music by Chas. B. Lawlor and James W. Blake published by Howley Haviland & Co. A small-time vaudevillian, Charles Lawlor had often watched children dancing on the sidewalks. He met up with James Blake, another vaudevillian, in a hat store. On Blake's block when he was a kid, everyone was Irish. They developed these lyrics that provide an idealized view of NYC neighborhoods in the 1890s. They were paid $5000 for the song by a publisher. Lawlor died penniless in 1925. Blake went blind, was penniless and performing in obscurity by 1934. He died in 1935. There is a companion song called The Streets of the Crowded City. sung by sheet music singer, Fred Feild piano according to the sheet music ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the sheet music and MIDI at: https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/the-...
