Step Along With Me 1920

Pack up your trav'ling bag
and we'll salute the flag
As we go sailing away
we love America best
but we are needing a rest
from all the cranks
that infest her today.
I've just consulted the dope
and while there is life
there is hope.

Come on along with me
past the three mile limit out at sea
to Havana that's the place to be.
No dry land for my land
let's seek that Cuban Island
"My country 'tis of thee."
That we sang in days of liberty
absence makes us fonder
Cuba beckons yonder
Pack up and step along with us.

Come on along with me
past the three mile limit out at sea
to Havana that's the place to be.
No dry land for my land
let's seek that Cuban Island
"My country 'tis of thee."
That we sang in days of liberty
Don't remain a Reuben
Come and be a Cuban
Pack up and step along with us.

Steamships are loaded down
Great crowds are leaving town
just like a gold mining craze
and folks who never would roam
away from comforts of home
are sailing over the foam nowadays
of our old friends we're bereft.
There's only a few of them left.

Come on along with me
past the three mile limit out at sea
to Havana that's the place to be.
No dry land for my land
let's seek that Cuban Island
"My country 'tis of thee."
That we sang in days of liberty
absence makes us fonder
Cuba beckons yonder
Pack up and step along with us.

Come on along with me
past the three mile limit out at sea
to Havana that's the place to be.
No dry land for my land
let's seek that Cuban Island
"My country 'tis of thee."
That we sang in days of liberty
Don't remain a Reuben
Come and be a Cuban
Pack up and step along with us.
