I want To Go To Idaho.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Come boys, let's saddle the mare!
The sun's shining everywhere,

And in my heart 'tis shining too.
'Kase I've heard from Idaho and Lindy Loo.

She says: "Pete, hurry along!
My heart beats true,

And I've been waiting and longing
for a long time now for you, just you."

No one knows but me how nice she'll be,
When I take her on my knee,
And that is the reason you see.

I want to go to dear old Idaho,
And wed my Lindy Loo.

I want to spoon and have my honeymoon,
Like other brown folk do.

I want to hold her in my loving arms,
And see those bright eyes shine;

I want to go to Idaho and hurry along,
And make this brown girl mine.

I want to go to dear old Idaho,
And wed my Lindy Loo.

I want to spoon and have my honeymoon,
Like other brown folk do.

I want to hold her in my loving arms,
And see those bright eyes shine;

I want to go to Idaho and hurry along,
And make this brown girl mine.

I know she's waiting for me;
This coon she's been longing to see,

And she'll look smart, I do declare,
In that dress of dandy brown she's goin' to wear.

Tho' we've no palace of gold,
my queen she'll be.

She says the home just wants something
to complete it now, and that's just me.

Wedding bells so gay will chime one day,
And I can no longer stay,
For now I must be on my way.

I want to go to dear old Idaho.
And wed my Lindy Loo.

I want to spoon and have my honeymoon,
Like other brown folk do.

I want to hold her in my loving arms,
And see those bright eyes shine;

I want to go to Idaho and hurry along,
And make this brown girl mine.

I want to go to dear old Idaho,
And wed my Lindy Loo.

I want to spoon and have my honeymoon,
Like other brown folk do.

I want to hold her in my loving arms,
And see those bright eyes shine;

I want to go to Idaho and hurry along,
And make this brown girl mine.

I Want To Go To Idaho
sung by
Mr. G. H. Elliott
written and composed by
Mellor, Lawrance & Gifford
who sound like a latterday day firm of lawyers to me!
Writing of G H Elliott, Charles Wilmott, one of
the great authorities on Music-Hall says:
"There is no subtlety about Elliott's methods;
his appeals to our senses and the
susceptiblities are deliberate and direct
whether he is giving us the cleverly written
and captivating 'Ise a waiting for yer, Josie'
and his lilting cowboy carol, 'I want to go to Idaho'
To hear Elliott is a delight; to see him dance is an education
