Way Down Summer Lane

Written  by two locals, Elijah Berry and Howard Gines, in the early 1920s


Now if you’re friends from the country for a day or two,
 Take them round the town all the sights to view.
 First in Cutler’s for a drink you’ll call, you show
 Then the fountain and the Old Town Hall.
 Then along Colmore Row, the car you can catch,
 To see the Water Melons on the old Black Patch.
 But there’s one sight you must not miss.
 Before your friends say goodbye, just mention this.

You ought to see the palm trees swaying way down Summer Lane.
 Every Saturday night there’s a jubilation
 Hear the Birdies singing in The Salutation
 Though there’s snow in Snow Hill,
 You’ve cause to take the train.
 To your southern home where the weather is warm
 It’s always summer in Summer Lane

Now you keep on sighing for your Dad and Mam
 Your Mason Dixie Line and your alabam.
 You say you’ve heard your Tennesse call,
 Yet you never saw Tennesse at all.
 And your songs from Mandy Land have been done Brown
 So let’s have a song about your home town.
each day is a blessing and I bless each day when it comes
