Give Me A Ticket For Louisville (1906)

A popular song from 1906
Words by Bartley Costello
Music by Albert Von Tilzer
Lyrics
1. Who came to my restaurant in Louisville
Dressed to kill, ate his fill
Jollied me along and never paid his bill
Said I ought to act?
He said that I’d be a star right on Broadway
Get big pay, just to play
Guess I’m nothing but a fallen star today
I’ve got my trunk all packed
Chorus
Please give me a ticket to Louisville
You can have your one horse stage
Keep you spears and footlights
I’ve had my fill
I don’t want to be the rage
Just a bit of paste-board with some printing on
I will never rest until
I hear a whistle blowing
And I’m on that train a-going
Please give me a ticket for Louisville
2. When I think of Louisville and juicy steaks
My heart aches, almost breaks
I just say to myself, Lord, for goodness sakes
Goodbye, Vaudeville
When I gets so hungry and I got no pay
I just say, on your way
There is just one place on earth I want to stay
Me for Louisville
