Down At The Old Bull and Bush - Edgar Curtis (1905)

"Down At The Old Bull and Bush"

Edgar Curtis

Lambert Record 5242

The song is from 1903, but the recording might be later than that since we hear band accompaniment instead of piano.

1905?

This song is associated with singer Florrie Forde.

Talk about the shade of the sheltering palm
Praise the bamboo tree with its wide-spreading charm
There's a little nook down at old Hampstead town
You know the place--it has won great renown

Often with my sweetheart on a bright summer's day
To the little pub there my footsteps will stray
If she hesitates when she looks at the sign
Promptly I whisper "Now do not decline but..."

Come, come, come and make eyes at me
Down at The Old Bull and Bush
Come, come, have some port wine with me
Down at The Old Bull and Bush

Hear the little German band
Just let me hold your hand, dear
Do, do, come and have a drink or two
Down at The Old Bull and Bush
