Di khupe - by Hyman Altman

Hyman Altman wrote quite a few lovely songs which were saved in the penny song collection, but in my opinion Di khupe is not one of them. I see here it was sung by the "beloved soubrette A. Shwartz".

I wrote it out in preparation for recording it and was overcome with ennui. So I'm providing free sheet music for you here instead. If you're desperate for a recording for some reason, let me know. Click the chart below for a larger view.
