Various Verses

Night is gone and day is breaking
Sunbeams gently kiss the dew
Mingling the green with diamonds
Shining in their verdant hue
In the midst there stands a lily
Proudly in its purity
Ah, its virtue, sweet as heaven
Just like you dear, seem to me.

Here comes Carmichael's band
Here comes Carmichael's band
Oh just listen to their merry tune
They've got a ripping lead
And now they only need
A girl or two to appreciate their view
With Sergeant Flynn in front
Im sure you'd have to hunt
For any band that springs to it as well
And if some Friday night
You see a lovely sight
Of 30 couples sitting far away from the light
Bet that it's Carmichael's Band
