Remember Me to My Old Gal 1911

by James Pitt-payne, London UK - 18 Mar 2005

So you're going back
where fields are green,
and skies are always blue,
well if I could have my wish tonight,
I'd be going back there too.
And some fine day I'll go back to stay,
but I can't return just yet.
While you're mingling
with the dear old friends
there's one thing you must not forget:

Remember me to my old gal,
say a good word for me, old boy,
just tell her while I roam New York,
My heart's in Illinois;
Just say I have a million friends
but not one like my old pal,
Give my love to sister Sue,
cheer the old folks if they're blue,
But pal, what ever you may do,
Remember me to my old pal.

Remember me to my old gal,
say a good word for me, old boy,
just tell her while I roam New York,
My heart's in Illinois;
Just say I have a million friends
but not one like my old pal,
Give my love to sister Sue,
cheer the old folks if they're blue,
But pal, what ever you may do,
Remember me to my old pal.

When you reach the dear old town again,
and think of my request,
whisper how no one can take her place
say that I love her the best.
Tell her when I come, I will buy the ring,
for the day she named in June,
I'll be yearning for the wedding bells,
we'll marry when sweet roses bloom:

Remember me to my old gal,
say a good word for me, old boy,
just tell her while I roam New York,
My heart's in Illinois;
Just say I have a million friends
but not one like my old pal,
Give my love to sister Sue,
cheer the old folks if they're blue,
But pal, what ever you may do,
Remember me to my old pal.

Remember me to my old gal,
say a good word for me, old boy,
just tell her while I roam New York,
My heart's in Illinois;
Just say I have a million friends
but not one like my old pal,
Give my love to sister Sue,
cheer the old folks if they're blue,
But pal, what ever you may do,
Remember me to my old pal.
