Farewell Beautiful Dreamer

In the shade of a cherry plum tree Slept a Yankee doodle dandy Dreaming of the buffalo days And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh He rode his pony to town But the actors were pulling it down All the statues lay in the street With the crows pecking round at their feet So he put a feather in his cap Turning around and never looked back Tra la la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la la Farewell beautiful dreamer Time to rise and shine Your love to the world Farewell beautiful dreamer Its time to rise and shine your love to the world Tra la la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la la Farewell beautiful dreamer Tra la la la la la la la Tra la la la la la la la In the shade of a cherry plum tree Slept a Yankee doodle dandy Dreaming of the buffalo days And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh! The ghosts of the Iroquois braves The songs of the African slaves The witches burned at the stake And of Moses parting the waves Leading his children out of their cages Tra la la la la la la la In the shade of a cherry plum tree!
