Down Among The Sheltering Palms


"Down Among the Sheltering Palms" is a popular song.

The music was written by Abe Olman, the lyrics by James Brockman and Leo Wood. The song was published in 1914 by Olman who heavily marketed it in the Chicago region. Music publisher Leo Feist acquired it from Olman and gave it to Al Jolson to perform on stage.

The song was a hit for the Lyric Quartet (comprising Harry Macdonough, Olive Kline, Reinald Werrenrath and Elsie Baker) in 1915 and has since become a pop standard recorded by many artists.
