Sixteen Tons is a country-folk song by Merle Travis (1917-1983). It was written in 1946 and immediately caused controversy as the lyrics were seen as potentially subversive. They dealt with the lifeand working conditions of American coal miners of the era who were often trapped in bonded labour hence the chorus: ?You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.? The song shot to famewhen it was recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford (1919-1991) in 1955 as a B-side; it quickly became popular selling over 2 million copies and holding the No.1 position on both the Country Music and Popcharts.Sixteen Tons has been arranged for Piano Voice and Guitar.

Comedienne Gracie Fields was born over a chip shop but at the time of this song the height of her popularity had become the highest-paid performer in Britain and the highest paid film actress in the world. A star of music hall and cinema for many years Fields had a big hit with The Biggest Aspidastra In The World in the late 1930s so he kept it in her repertoire ever after. One of the composers Tommy Connor has excellent form as a composer of novelty songs as he also penned I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.The jaunty melody is charming though Fields herself often favoured a more declamatory reading of the words. The sheet music includes Guitar tablature.

The Girl In The Little Green Hat is a jolly novelty number by Jack Scholl songwriter for Warner Bros and co-writers Max Rich and Bradford Browne.
