SHADOWS ON THE MOON
(Music by: Sigmund Romberg / Lyrics by: Gus Kahn)
Sung by: Jeanne Ellis at a campfire in the prologue
Reprised by: Jeanette MacDonald
Whistled and hummed by: Nelson Eddy
Shadows on the moon are saying,
"Summer`s on the wane,
The sun will soon give way to autumn rain."
Shadows on the moon are saying,
„Autumn time will go,
And soon we`ll hear the winter trumpets blow."
Sort o` melancholy when the leaves are turning red;
But it shouldn`t mean that
All your little dreams and hopes are dead.
Shadows on the moon are waiting
For a smile to start to chase away
The shadows on your heart.

WHO ARE WE TO SAY (Obey Your Heart)
(Music by: Sigmund Romberg / Lyrics by: Gus Kahn)
Sung by: Nelson Eddy
Hummed by: Jeanette MacDonald
Reprised on piano by Brandon Tynan and sung by: Jeanette MacDonald
Who are we to say just what love will do?
Love may live a day, or all life through.
Who are we to say how a rose will grow?
It may fade away or bloom and blow.
You and I may plan and scheme,
And ev`ry thing`s arranged;
Then there comes a vagrant dream
And all the world is changed!
Who are we to say when to say goodbye
Or to wonder why we two must part?
So we live today loving while we may, dear
Knowing love would say, "Obey your heart".

POLLY WOLLY DOODLE
(Traditional / De Sylva)
Played as background music in the saloon
Also performed by: Leon Redbone, Shirley Temple
Oh, I went down South
For to see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sal, she is A spunky gal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, my Sal, she is A maiden fair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes And laughing hair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Behind the barn, Down on my knees
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard A chicken sneeze
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed so hard With the whooping cough
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed his head And the tail right off
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, a grasshopper sittin' On a railroad track
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
A-pickin' his teeth
With a carpet tack
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, I went to bed But it wasn't any use
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My feet stuck out Like a chicken roost
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
