You could also download a ZIP file containing the vocal items in Midi Karaoke format.   This would allow you to follow the lyrics, provided you install the necessary vanBasco's Karaoke Player which you may obtain free of charge from their website.

Be aware that some of these lyrics, written over a century ago, may now cause offence in areas of racial sensitivity.
