Lee Morse was an American jazz singer best known for her trademark yodeling. She was born Lena Corinne Taylor on November 30, 1897 in Portland, Oregon to Pleasant John and Olive Taylor. She was the tenth of thirteen children, and the second girl. Her younger brother Glen H. Taylor was a country-western singer who served one term as a U.S. Senator from Idaho.
She began her professional singing career in a local movie house in 1918. In 1920 she sang in a musical at the Democratic Convention held in San Francisco.

This version is based on the singing of Lee Morse - an excellent female singer/guitarist. You can find her 1927 version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7mRwA9NQzc It has the verse part (largely ignored these days) and it uses a minor key in the start of CHORUS 2.
[VERSE 1] DmG7 See that sun in the morning peeking over the hill ADmEA7 I'll bet you're sure it always has I'm sure it always will. DmG7 That's how I feel about someone and somebody feels about me. ADmEC7 We're sure we love each other and that's the way we'll always be.
[CHORUS 1] FBbFBbF Oh we ain't got a barrel of mo-ney Maybe we're ragged and fu-nny BbAbdimFD7Gm7C7FC But we'll travel a-long, singing a song Side by side. FBbFBbF Don't know what's coming tomo-rrow Maybe it's trouble and so-rrow BbAbdimFD7Gm7C7FE7 But we'll travel a-long singing a song Side by side. A7D5 Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall? G6Gm7C7 As long as we're together It doesn't matter at all. FBbFBbF And when they've all had their troubles and par-ted We'll be the same as we star-ted BbAbdimFD7Gm7C7F Just travelling a-long, singing a song Side by side.
[VERSE 2] DmG7 We're all hunting for something - something we don't know what ADmEA7 'Cos none of us is satisfied with things we know we've got. DmG7 We all forget about moonlight as soon as we've given our vow ADmEC7 But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now:
[MINOR CHORUS 2] FmBbmFmBbmFm Oh we ain't got a barrel of mon-ey Maybe we're ragged and funn-y BbmFmC7FmC7 But we'll travel along, singing a song Side by side. FmBbmFmBbmFm Don't know what's coming tomo - rrow Maybe it's trouble and so - rrow BbmFmC7FmE7 But we'll travel the road sharing our load Side by side. A7D5 Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall? G6Gm7C7 As long as we're together It doesn't matter at all. FBbFBbF And if she goes and she takes her a no-tion to jump and to drown in the o -cean BbAbdimFD7Gm7C7F We'll sink as a pair - it's me and it's her Side by side.
