Описание к видео Henry Burr and the Peerless Quartet - There's a Quaker Down in Quaker Town (1916)

Charted at #5 in July 1916. Also a #1 hit for Henry Burr and Albert Campbell (in a duet version) during the same month. Interesting because this version was released on the Columbia label, while the duet version was on the Victor label, so Henry Burr was competing with himself for record sales! Written by David Berg and Alfred Solman. Here are the lyrics:

Two hours ride old Broadway
There is a sleepy town, they say;
"Old Philadelphia,"
You opened my eyes
And I apologize.

Old William Penn, please pardon me,
One of your sons I want to be
You love your quakers,
And I love one too
That's why I'm strong for you.

There's a quaker down in Quaker town,
When I am around she sighs
But down in her heart, I know,
She's not so slow,
For oh, oh, oh, oh!
Those eyes!
Like the waters still she's very deep
She knows a heap, I found,
She has that "Meet me later" look,
And oh, she knows her book,
This little Quaker down in Quaker town.
