Title	Little rosebud
Transcript	LITTLE ROSEBUD. Words by Dexter Smith. Music by W. H. Brockway. Little Rosebud are you lonely, Now I am so far away? For of you I am thinking only, As I ever sadly stray. Since from you I sweetly parted, Earth has no delights for me, And I wander, heavy hearted, O'er the land and o'er the sea. Chorus. - Little Rosebud, are you lonely Now I am so far away? For of you I'm thinking only, As I ever sadly stray. Little Rosebud, I am coming Home to see you once again; For I'm weary now of roaming, Drifting over [the] stormy main Will you welcom[e] home the ranger [sic], To the sunshine of your smile? Then shall sad[n]ess be a stranger, And life's sw[ee]test joys beguile. - Cho . W. J. Schmidt, Song Publisher, 16 S. Fremont St.
