But You Are, Blanche

In 1902 she made her Broadway debut and  introduced to the public the new song "In the Good Old Summertime." -- Wikipedia

Blanche Ring, who had her big success

   Before the First World War,

Enjoyed her life, without much press,

   For several decades more.


If you don’t know her name, don’t stress,

   Or blame yourself therefóre,

But if you do, then I would guess

   You've seen the vintage score.
