Sarah 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 May 2002

Sarah May, so they say,
looking for a job one day,
saw a sign down the line,
"Girl as bootblack call at nine!"
Got the job, soon the mob,
wise to Sarah shining shoes,
stood in line, for a shine,
singing these new "Blues:"

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
She shines shoes from morn till night,
she shines shoes with all her might,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
Oh! the sun shines East
and the sun shines West,
but Sarah knows where the sun shines best,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the ShoeShine Shop.

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
She shines shoes from morn till night,
she shines shoes with all her might,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
Oh! the sun shines East
and the sun shines West,
but Sarah knows where the sun shines best,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the ShoeShine Shop.

Sarah May, so they say,
married a rich man one day,
Quit the job, and the mob,
missing Sarah stayed away.
Her old Boss, felt the loss,
begged her to come back and then
Sarah sighed, and replied:
"You'll never hear again:"

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
She shines shoes from morn till night,
she shines shoes with all her might,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
Oh! the sun shines East
and the sun shines West,
but Sarah knows where the sun shines best,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the ShoeShine Shop.

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
She shines shoes from morn till night,
she shines shoes with all her might,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the Shoeshine Shop,
Oh! the sun shines East
and the sun shines West,
but Sarah knows where the sun shines best,
Sarah, Sarah, sitting in the ShoeShine Shop.
