Softcover/Good; sound w/edge & surface rubs & humidity stains to upper back top edge & discoloration. Collection of drinking songs sung by professional drinkers assembled by Greenwich Villager Frank Shay (1988 - 1954).…Enduring songs of the Naughty Nineties & early 20th century, separately first published in 1927 & 1928 respectively; this is the Dover combined reprint of 1961. Not songs that glorify drinking of spirits & drunkards, but those that were sung & enjoyed by "professional drinkers" when in a mellow & convivial mood of comradeship to the pleasure of all. Some were first heard on a Standard Oil tankship, others from sea-coast gin-mills sailors visited, and army camps of America and France . 235 pgs, some with music, w/ John Held's illustrations. Find full refrains of Clementine (as sung by Ralph Geddes), and Frankie and Johnnie; and old-time ditties such as Forty-nine Bottles, and I've Been Workin' on the Railroad. Rich collection. Strong copy despite flaws. John Held, Jr. (Illustrator) (illustrator).
