"GIVE ME A HOME IN MONTANA"
WHENEVER MY DADDY AND HIS FRIENDS GOT TOGETHER TO ENJOY DADDYS
BATHTUB GIN DURING PROHIBITION, THEY WOULD ALWAYS SING THIS
SONG. THE LYRICS WENT:
GIVE ME A HOME IN MONTANA
A COWBOY FROM MONTANA
AND SEE HOW HAPPY ILL BE.
GIVE ME AN OL HICKRY CABIN
AND I WONT BE GRABBIN
LET THAT MONTANA MOON SHINE ON ME.
ITS A TRUE PARADISE
NEATH THOSE BLUE MOUNTAIN SKIES
I NEVER MORE WILL ROAM.
GIVE ME A HOME IN MONTANA
A COWBOY FROM MONTANA
AND SEE HOW HAPPY ILL BE.

SONG
GIVE A CHEER, GIVE A CHEER,
FOR THE BOYS WHO DRINK THE BEER
IN THE CELLAR OF OLD ROBERT'S SCHOOL
THEY ARE BRAVE, THEY ARE BOLD,
FOR ALL THE LIQUOR THEY CAN HOLD
IN THE CELLAR OF OLD ROBERT'S SCHOOL
AND IT'S GUZZEL, GUZZEL GUZZEL,
AS IT TRICKLES DOWN THEIR MUZZELS
SHOUT OUT YOUR ORDER LOUD AND CLEAR
MORE BEER.
AND IF STROMSKE SHOULD APPEAR
TELL HIM FINNEGAN MADE THE BEER
IN THE CELLAR OF OLD ROBERT'S SCHOOL.

EASY COME, EASY GO

MAY 17, 1965: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY MOTHER SAYING THAT
MY FATHER GO UP TO GAYLORD WHERE THEY HAVE A SMALL PLOT OF LAND WHICH
MY MOTHER LIVES IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, BUT DURING THE SUMMER SHE AND
THEY "FARM".
SHE SENT ME THE SONG WHICH APPEARS ON THE OTHER SIDE FROM GAYLORD.
AT THE END OF HER NOTE, SHE WROTE:
"IN 1912 I SANG THAT (THE SONG) IN MRS. BESSIE SPEARS 4TH
ROOM AT CASTNER SCHOOL, DONORA, PA."
THE SONG WAS SUNG FROM A BOOK, BUT THAT SHE STILL REMEMBERS THE TUNE.
Was possibly once a work song.
