Harry Fay - Have You Got Another Girl At Home Like Mary (1910)
British singer Harry Fay sings "Have You Got Another Girl At Home Like Mary?"
Edison Standard Record 10283--issued January 1910.
The song is by Alf. J. Lawrence and Fred Godfrey.
It was published by Francis, Day & Hunter, New York, in 1908.
SOME LYRICS: "Mary had a lot of sweathearts...Have you got another girl at home like Mary?"
Fred Godfrey was a prolific songwriter, writing many songs popular in Great Britain.
His heyday may have been the World War I era, with "Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty" (1916) and "Bless 'Em All" (1917) being especially popular. The word "Blighty" in the former song means "home."
But he published so many songs for such a long period (like Irving Berlin in the U.S.) that identifying Fred Godrey's heyday or most popular years is difficult. Certainly songs before World War I enjoyed great success, even in America (Ada Jones recorded "Now I Have To Call Him Father" in 1909), and Godrey songs were popular throughout the 1920s and into World War II.
The name "Fred Godrey" was really a pen name. He was born Llewellyn Williams
Godfrey was born on September 17, 1880, in Swansea, Wales.
He died on February 22, 1953, in London. The analogy with Irving Berlin--two songwriters who enjoyed great success for decades, their careers beginning and ending around the same time--may be helpful except we must allow for the fact that Berlin lived to a riper age.
