Henry Burr (January 15, 1882 -- April 6, 1941) was a Canadian singer of popular songs from the early 20th century, an early radio performer and producer. He was born Harry Haley McClaskey and used Henry Burr as one of his many pseudonyms, in addition to Irving Gillette, Henry Gillette, Alfred Alexander, Robert Rice, Carl Ely, Harry Barr, Frank Knapp, Al King, and Shamus McClaskey. He was one of the first singers to make popular acoustic recordings and one of the most prolific recording artists of all time, with more than 12,000 recordings by his own estimate.[3] A tenor, he performed as a soloist and also in duets, trios and quartets. His most famous collaboration was the Peerless Quartet.
Lyrics:
If you've never been there
It's beyond your understanding
How I wish that I were landing
'Neath the tropic skies of blue
I long for just one day among the summer-scented flowers
Just to spend the happy hours
Sunshine with you
Such a wealth of sunshine
When my honeybunch was near me
She was always there to cheer me
With a happy sunny smile
I'd give a dozen years of more if I could only kiss her
Never dreamt that I would miss her
This little while
CHORUS:
Hawaiian sunshine
I claim that you're mine
So keep on dreaming, always beaming
For your little malahini boy
I'll take the boatline
Hawaiian sunshine
I'll steal my steal guitar
And steal away to where you are
