LITTLE WHITE HOUSE, THE
Downling / Hanley

as recorded by Lee Morse & her Blue Grass Boys  
November 4th 1926 
New York


Everyone longs for a home of their own,
What a heaven on earth it must be!
Many may sigh for a castle or so,
Still there's only one love nest for me!

Just a little white house with the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane.
Just a little white gate that, early and late,
Seems to say, "Won't you please call again!".

You leave troubles outside and your joys just begin
When the little front door whispers, "Won't you come in
To the little white house with the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane".

Just a little white house with the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane.
Just a little white gate that, early and late,
Seems to say, "Won't you please call again!".

You leave troubles outside and your joys just begin
When the little front door whispers, "Won't you come in
To the little white house with the little green blinds
At the end of Honeymoon Lane".
