Give My Regards To Mabel 1910

Ebenezer Brown came to New York Town,
Had two dollars in the pocket of his jeans,
Met a lovely blonde
of her he grew fond,
Took her into Rector's
for a plate of ham and beans,
Mabel said we'll dine,
This here tables mine,
I don't like a piker,
kid holler for some wine,
Ebenezer said by gosh
think I'll give my hands a wash,
Now he tells the Hayseeds
down in old Oshkosh.

When you go down
to New York Town
Please do a favor for me,
Give my regards to Mabel
The blonde at the second table,
You see in Rector's I'd like to bet
She's waiting yet;
Just say that her friend
had a chill, still,
Give my regards to Mabel
and tell her that I still have
my two dollar bill.

When you get down to New York Town
Please do a favor for me,
Give my regards to Mabel
The blonde at the second table,
You'll see in Rector's
I'd like to bet
She's waiting yet;
Just say that her friend
had a chill, still,
Give my regards to Mabel
but be sure that you bring back
that two dollar bill.

Ebenezer he moved to Kankakee,
He got married and he raised a family,
When his only son
Grew to twenty one,
Told his dad he'd go
to old New York and have some fun,
Pa said alright Will,
Here's a two case bill,
When you meet my old sweetheart
Buy a little gill
She sits in Rector's near the gate
tell her that she needn't wait,
Her Ebenezer's married now
and she's too late.

When you go down
to New York Town
Please do a favor for me,
Give my regards to Mabel
The blonde at the second table,
You see in Rector's I'd like to bet
She's waiting yet;
Just say that her friend
had a chill, still,
Give my regards to Mabel
and tell her that I still have
my two dollar bill.

When you get down to New York Town
Please do a favor for me,
Give my regards to Mabel
The blonde at the second table,
You'll see in Rector's
I'd like to bet
She's waiting yet;
Just say that her friend
had a chill, still,
Give my regards to Mabel
but be sure that you bring back
that two dollar bill.
