Victor Herbert wrote hundreds of songs both located within theatrical works (operetta, musical comedy and opera). Over the years we have found the best way to organize individual songs is by voice. Hopefully you know your range so look for songs in your range category.
The other very important detail is that all of these songs are in their original key. Herbert wrote for particular singers 100% of the time. He was not happy with the wrong voice attempting to change the key of a song to fit a certain voice. We are not the web site to be exploring if you want to change a particular key so you can sing. (Example: Capt Dick in Naughty Marietta was written as a high tenor; Herbert would never have allowed Nelson Eddy or Alfred Drake to sing any of Capt. Dick’s or Adah’s songs for that matter.)
If you explore the Internet, you will find people to transpose any song for you. Just stop looking here.

Description
“Mary Came Over To Me” This Herbert popular song has words by Irving Caesar and was published in 1922 by Harms. Four and a half million Irish arrived in America between 1820 and 1930, over one third of all immigrants to America. Sometimes whole families came, but most often it was a single brave soul, usually male, who made that first crossing. His sole purpose was to find work and eventually bring his family or, in the case of this song, the love of his life. His yearning was real; his joy even greater when he’d managed to accumulate enough money to bring “Mary” to America. The melody is in the key of B♭major with a range from D to D. There is an option at the end up to a high B♭. This is a tenor solo all the way.
