Music heard in the movie...


"When You and I Were Young, Maggie" ~ A man picks out the tune on the piano at the saloon. Note the mug of beer tilted to where the player can grab it!

The young boy who is seen shining shoes starts to sing a song, but it wasn't enough to ID it: "I want to go to heaven when I die..." Later, he was singing again, but I think other words include "Little Suzy/Susie died, and I don't cry(?)..." I still haven't found this!

Also, I couldn't catch the words to the very discordant hymn. I'm unfamiliar with that one.

I'm not doing too well on this film; it's my first time watching it after having read about it for many decades.
