When The Saints Go Marchin' In - Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett
When The Saints Go Marchin' In
Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett

Gospel Hymn

I am just a lonely traveler in this big, wide world we're in. Wanna join that grand procession when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Yes, I want to be in that number when the saints go marchin' in!

All the folks I've had around me, all my friends and all my kin. I will meet with them up yonder when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Yes, I want to be in that number when the saints go marchin' in!

Come and join me in my journey cuz it's time that we begin. For we'll be there for that great day when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Oh, when the saints go marchin' in. Yes, I want to be in that number when the saints go marchin' in!

While We Danced At The Mardi Gras - Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett
While We Danced At The Mardi Gras
Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett

Music By Alfred Opler, Lyrics By John Mercer (1931)

Romantic, carefree, splendid night! A gay and glad pretended night! A magic moon above lighting the way to our magic love. I begged for just one dance with you. Instead I found romance with you. I should have known not to trust that waltz. Was it a real love or just that waltz?

While we danced as we dreamed at the Mardi Gras. Was romance what it seemed at the Mardi Gras? Was the love that we made just a brief masquerade? Was it gone with the song that the orchestra played? With a sigh, with a glance at the moon above. Was it just by chance we spoke of love? Or did you somehow feel that the moment was real while we danced at the Mardi Gras?

Alexander's Ragtime Band - Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett
Alexander's Ragtime Band
Performed By Grant Raymond Barrett


By Irving Berlin (1911)

Oh, ma honey! Oh, ma honey, better hurry and let's meander. Ain't ya goin'? Ain't ya goin' to the leader man, ragged meter-man? Oh, ma honey! Oh, ma honey, let me take you to Alexander's grandstand, brass band! Ain't ya comin' along?

Come on and hear! Come on and hear Alexander's Ragtime Band! Come on and hear! Come on and hear, it's the best band in the land! They can play a bugle call like you never heard before. So natural that you wanna shout for more. That's just the bestest band what am, honey lamb. Come on along! Come on along, let me take you by the hand, up to the man, up to the man who's the leader of the band. And if you care to hear that "Swanee River" played in ragtime. Come on and hear! Come on and hear Alexander's Ragtime Band!
