Those old timers never got back to me.

But I did find a book of sheet music called "Favorite Hawaiian Songs", published by Hal Leonard for $9.95.

It contains the seldom-heard vocal version of QV. This is fairly different from the familiar Denny arrangement (which is the version hat we've all head done by so many other artists), but it's a starting point...

Also, for you Uke fans, there's a guy called Jumpin' Jim who has issued at least six books of Uke sheet music.

The one called "Jumpin' Jim's Gone Hawaiian" (Jim Beloff) contains sheet music (for ukulele) for about 30 classic Hapa Haole tunes, as well as QV. It's a nice book, with historical information about the guys who wrote the tunes, nice vintage graphics, and at the very least, you get lyrics for "Hukilau Song","Little Grass Shack","Aloha Oe","Lovely Hula Hands", and all the rest.
