Ma Blushin’ Rosie lyrics, sung by Al Jolson in The Jolson Story

There’s a little bunch of sweetness,
That I long to call my bride.
And believe me, I’m not happy,
Lest my baby’s by my side.
Her baptismal name was Rosie,
But she put’s the rose to shame.
And almost every night,
you’ll hear me call her name.

After the Ball is Over  lyrics sung by Al Jolson in The Jolson Story, among many others —  written by Charles K. Harris

Begged for a story, “Do, Uncle, please.
Why are you single; Why live alone?
Have you no babies, have you no home?”
