and a blackface classic?




I played a three-night stand
once upon a time,
In a town called Albany,
I met a sun-burnt maiden and
I gave her a ticket free.
Oh, well, she seen dat show, I met her den,
directly after matinee,
She caught my eye, now other towns
Ain't one, two, six wid me.
We correspond, I know she's fond
Of letters dat she gets from me
And when dis season closes
I'm a going back to Albany.

Chorus:
'Cause dat's de only town looks good to me,
It's on de Hudson Riber and de N.Y.C.,
I'd rather live in dat fine old place,
Where I know I can see ma baby's face
I've been in ev'ry town from A to Z,
Studied all de maps like A, B, C,
But dat is de one and only town
I'm gwine back to Albany.

I'm gwine to tell you more, well,
here I am out West,
In a town called Kankakee
Dese E flat burgs and water tanks, well
dey never made a hit wid me.
I never did four-flush, I'm in a rush,
Dat gal is waiting now for me,
She said she'd meet me at de train
Dat gets dere just a-fore three,
I'll feel just right if I land to-night
In Rochester at half past three,
I'll catch dat Empire express train
A buzzin' back to Albany.
