[ The Lester S. Levy collection has the 1917 edition without lyrics,
[ while Duke University has the 1918 edition with lyrics. Lee Roan
[ writes: "The Billings Rollography says it was written by Henry &
[ Onevas and appeared on a QRS roll #560." The Edison Diamond Disc

[ by Billy Murray; the 'flip side' tune is "Down in Jungle Land".
