What e'er befall I still recall that sunlit mountain side, Where hearts are true, and skies are blue, And Love's the only guide! If faithful to my trust I stay, No fate can fill me with dismay! Love holds the key to set me free, And Love will find a way!

Where did that one go to, 'Erbert? Where did that one go? Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Say, old chummie, that was rummy! 'Erb, 'Erb, 'Erb, 'Erb, Tell me if you know, Who the—what the—how the—why the— Where did that one go?

The bells are ringing for me and my gal, The birds are singing, for me and my gal, Ev'rybody's been knowing, To a wedding they're going, And for weeks they've been sewing, Ev'ry Susie and Sal, They're congregating for me and my gal, The Parson's waiting for me and my gal, And sometime, I'm goin' to build a little home for two, For three or four, or more; In Loveland, for me and my gal.
