All She Gets From the Iceman Is Ice (1907) Sheet Music Singer 2024-06-02 | A popular song from 1907Words by Arthur J. LambMusic by Alfred SolmanLyrics1. One fine day the sun was shining hotJane was standing on the corner lotSaw the iceman slowly going byAs he looked he winked his eyeAfter that in any kind of weatherHe and Jane would always be togetherTill one night he called her his divinityAlso his affinityRefrainThe iceman is a nice manBut just one thing is sureThere’s something in his bus’nessThat affects his temperature, OhLove is such a funny thingFor she found out, once or twiceAll she can get from the icemanIs ice, ice, ice2. So, one day when merry birds did singThey were married, bells went ding-a-lingFor his rent he didn’t have the priceSo he gave the landlord iceFolks who love may call each other “honey”But you can’t get on without the moneyThen tho’ married life at first was very sweetStill the Iceman got cold feet3. Well, in time she had to go to courtHe left her, she sued for non-supportCourt said, “Mister Iceman, listen thenEvery week you’ll hand her ten”Time’s gone by and tho’ she hates to say itAlimony he don’t ever pay itSo at last she acted on a friend’s adviceAnd she takes it out in ice-------------------------------------------------------------Sung here by Vancha March.Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne.Get the sheet music and MIDI at:sheetmusicsinger.com/all-she-gets-from-the-iceman-is-ice
The Prisoner’s Song (1924) Sheet Music Singer 2024-06-01 | A popular ballad from 1924Words and music by Guy MasseyLyrics1. Oh, I wish I had someone to love meSomeone to call me their ownOh, I wish I had someone to live with‘Cause I’m tired of livin’ alone2. Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlightPlease meet me tonight all aloneFor I have a sad story to tell youIt’s a story that’s never been told3. I’ll be carried to the new jail tomorrowLeavin’ my poor darlin’ aloneWith the cold prison bars all around meAnd my head on a pillow of stone4. Now I have a grand ship on the oceanAll mounted with silver and goldAnd before my poor darlin’ would sufferOh, that ship would be anchored and sold5. Now if I had wings like an angelOver these prison walls I would flyAnd I’d fly to the arms of my poor darlin’And there I’d be willin’ to die---------------------------------------------------------------Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne.Get the sheet music and MIDI at:sheetmusicsinger.com/the-prisoners-song
