| Verse: | Wilt thou come with me to the fair? Bambalina will be there. Who is Bambalina what sort of man is he? He's fiddler man by trade, Both beloved by man and maid. |
| Chorus: | When we're dancing at the fair we have to watch and keep aware, When good ol Bambalina calls a stop; That means I must stand still in your arms and hold your hand still. |
A YouTube search can assist you with Song Recognition ONLY.
Carefully match both Verse and Chorus lyrics. Many songs have the same or similar titles.
Try alternate searches, but there are well-known PD songs not found on YouTube.
The lyrics, melody. and arrangement of Bambalina as published before 1930 are in the public domain in the USA. However, it is a virtual certainty that video, sound recordings, and 1930 or later music arrangements of this song are under copyright protection.
The ONLY way to know precisely what lyrics and melody are in the public domain is to obtain a
Sheet Music Publication with a Copyright Date of 1929 or earlier.
You then work from the PD publication to create your own derivative work, but you cannot use or work from any version published after 1922.
