a 1922 popular song
words and music by Kendis & Brockman
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I wandered alone by the brookside
And hoped your sweet voice I would hear
The moss covered well, the lane in the dell
Are lonely without you, dear
My love just for you will keep growing
As long as the brook keeps on flowing
Refrain:
Babbling brook, babbling brook calling for you
Weeping willow tree weeps for you and me
Shady nook, shady nook misses you too
Nothing is like it used to be
If the silvery ripples could speak as they flow
I am sure they would tell me what I’d like to know
Babbling brook, babbling brook flow to the sea
And bring back my sweetheart to me
- The crescent moon beams on the water
The breeze breaks the stillness of night
The mill down the hill is lonesome and still
The stars dear don’t shine so bright
‘Tho our hearts met only to sever
The brook keeps on flowing forever
Sung here by Fred Feild:
