Hi beth,

The following are the songs in the play "Twelfth Night" by William
Shakespeare. Preceding each song is the character who sings it. Also
included are the respective acts and scenes and locations.
Unfortunately, the instrumental accompaniments for the songs are not
available.


Act II Scene 3: OLIVIA'S house

CLOWN: 
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?  

SIR TOBY: 
There dwelt a man in Babylon

SIR TOBY:
O, the twelfth day of December

*************************************

Act II Scene 4: The DUKE'S palace 

CLOWN: 
Come away, death

*************************************

Act IV Scene 2: OLIVIA'S house 

CLOWN: 
Hey, Robin

CLOWN: 
Adieu, Good Man Devil

*************************************

Act V Scene 1: Before OLIVIA's house

CLOWN: 
For the rain, it raineth every day - (When that I was and a little
tiny boy)
