She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain




Uncredited illustration for this 1935 sheet music. And yowza, yowza, yowza! Here's the Old Maestro, Ben Bernie!

Regular Morty the Dog readers know this is really the tune for that hit song, "I Haven't Seen My Underpants in Weeks."

Home on the Range



This 1935 sheet music is bereft of credits for the cover graphics unless the artist's name is somehow cleverly hidden in the grass.

Ciribiribin


From 1935 with a stripped down Art Deco cover.

Yup, the ol' Yeast Foam Program. That title sure has a nice ring to it, eh?

Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair (I Dream of Jeanie)



An artist known simply as "NPS" illustrated this 1939 sheet music with simple lines. I like the minimalist portrayal of the landscape. Dale Evans is shown early in her career, long before she hooked up with Roy Rogers.

Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms





Quite an awkward title on this 1935 piece of sheet music. Cover art was by Chicago artist James Axelrod. The back cover includes some fun images for other products from Calumet. That is a very young Freddy Martin. I found two other versions of this score cover online with different photographs in the inset. One had a different picture of Martin, and the other had Kay Kyser.

Serenade

From 1935 by the Calumet Music Company. Interesting that sheet music by Franz Schubert has advertisements for cowboy songs on the back cover.
