Billy Murray - Give My Regards to Broadway (1905)

One of the defining American hits. Charted at #1 in July 1905. This, along with "Yankee Doodle Boy" was one of two #1 hits for Billy from the musical, "Little Johnny Jones" and both led to Murray becoming one of the foremost interpreters of George M. Cohan's songs in the early 1900's. Another version of "Give My Regards to Broadway" charted at #4 in 1905 for S. H. Dudley. One of the most famous performances of the song is that of James Cagney (as George M. Cohan) in the 1942 movie, "Yankee Doodle Dandy".

Written by George M. Cohan.

I like that people can search in the Internet now how music looked like in the past so music like this won't be ever forgotten.

Did you ever see two Yankees part
Upon a foreign shore
When the good ship's just about to start
For old New York once more?
With tear-dimmed eye they say goodbye
They're friends without a doubt
When the man on the pier
Shouts, "Let them clear"
As the ship strikes out

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street
That I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
And say that I'll be there e'er long

Say hello to dear old Coney Isle
If there you chance to be
When you're at the Waldorf have a smile
And charge it up to me
Mention my name ev'ry place you go
As 'round the town you roam
Wish you'd call on my gal
Now remember, old pal
When you get back home

Give my regards to Broadway
Remember me to Herald Square
Tell all the gang at Forty-Second Street
That I will soon be there
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng
Give my regards to old Broadway
And say that I'll be there e'er long

This is the American version of “It’s a Long Way To Tipperary”

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your(Gran-Grand-Grand-Grand)- mother should know Btw.: Paul McCartney made the film "Give my regards to broastreet"in 1984

Avez-vous déjà vu deux Yankees
Sur une côte étrangère
Quand le bon vaisseau va commencer
Pour le vieux New York encore une fois ?
Les larmes aux yeux, ils disent au revoir
Ils sont amis sans aucun doute
Quand l’homme sur la jetée
Il crie : "Qu’ils dégagent"
Alors que le navire s’éloigne

Mes amitiés à Broadway
Souviens-toi de moi à Herald Square
Dis à tout le gang de Forty-Second Street
Que je serai bientôt là
Murmure comme je languis
Se mêler à la foule du bon vieux temps
Mes amitiés au vieux Broadway
Et dire que je serai là plus longtemps

Dis bonjour au bon vieux Coney Isle
S’il y a une chance
Quand tu es au Waldorf, souris
Et le charger jusqu’à moi
Dis mon nom où tu vas
Comme dans toute la ville
J’aimerais que tu appelles ma copine
Souviens-toi, mon vieux
Quand tu rentreras chez toi

Mes amitiés à Broadway
Souviens-toi de moi à Herald Square
Dis à tout le gang de Forty-Second Street
Que je serai bientôt là
Murmure comme je languis
Se mêler à la foule du bon vieux temps
Mes amitiés au vieux Broadway
Et dire que je serai là plus longtemps
