The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

Four little crossroads lie before me
One of the four I must choose
Whether the way be fair or stormy
Whether I win or I lose
Which of the four shall I make my way
I wish I knew where to start
Which little road shall be the highway
Leading to my heart

Chorus
Will she come from the East
Where the Broadway peaches grow
Will she come from the North
From the land of ice and snow
Or will she come from the heart of the West
There where the sun goes to rest
Will she come trottin’
From the land of cotton
From away down South
