Nora Malone, long have I known\nHow you've been teasin'\nWhen you should be pleasin' your boy, my own\nWhen you're away, I fret and pray\nJust to be hearin' a word that's endearin'\nYou should send me one ev'ry day\n\nNora Malone, call me by phone\nNumber one, two, three, four, main\nDon't forget the number while you slumber\nOpen your eyes when you arise\nHear all the blarney of your Barney Carney from Killarney\nColleens are few, there's none like you\nIn the old town of Athlone\nMushawurra, wurra, wurra, wurra\nOld Erin's isle could not make me smile\nWithout Nora Malone<\/em>\n\nI love to hear, Barney my dear\nWeepin' and wailin' as though you were ailin'\nWhen I'm not here,\nI'll be your bride, when love decides\nNow stop your cooin' and your silly wooin'\nI want to hear somethin' besides\n<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A hit in the period before the first war, this song from  America’s Tin Pan Alley was incorporated into the New York production of The Yankee Girl<\/em> in 1910, but in Ireland and mainland Britain it was popularised in the music halls by the Hedges Brothers and Jacobson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hedges Brothers and Jacobson were a relatively short lived trio from San Francisco who were very popular in the UK during the short ragtime craze of 1911 to 1912. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
