Side By Side ...


“Oh we ain’t got a barrel of money
Maybe we’re ragged and funny
But we’ll travel along singing a song
Side by side …

Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
As long as we’re together
It doesn’t matter at all…”
              ~ “Side by Side”
                  ~1927
          ~ popular song by Harry M. Woods (1896-1970), now considered a standard. It has been recorded by many artists, but is probably best known in a 1953 recording by Kay Star. Woods was a Tin Pan Alley songwriter & pianist. He composed his songs on piano, despite the fact that he was born without fingers on his left hand.
