After the ball

After the ball is over, after the break of morn’.

After the dancers’ leaving, after the stars are gone.

Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all.

Many the hopes that have vanished after the ball.

 

After you’ve gone

After you’ve gone and left me crying

After you’ve gone there’s no denying,

you’ll feel blue, you’ll feel sad,

you’ll miss the dearest pal you’ve ever had.

There’ll come a time, now don’t forget it.

There’ll come a time, when you’ll regret it

Someday when... you grow lonely

your heart will break like mine, and you’ll want me only.

After you’ve gone, after you’ve gone away.

 

After I’m gone, after we break up.

After I’m gone, you’re gonna wake up.

You will find, you were blind

to let somebody come an’ change your mind.

After the years, we’ve been together

their joy an’ tears, all kinds of weather.

Someday blue... and downhearted.

You’ll long to be with me right back where you started

After I’m gone, after I’m gone away.

 

Ain’t misbehavin’

No one to talk with, all by myself.

No one to talk with, but I’m happy on my shelf.

Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m saving my love for you.

I know for certain, the one I love.

I’m thru with flirtin’, it’s just you I’m thinkin’ of.

Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m saving my love for you.

Like Jack Horner, in the corner,

don’t go nowhere, what do I care.

Your kisses are worth waitin’ for, believe me.

I don’t stay out late, don’t care to go.

I’m home about eight, just me and my radio.

Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m savin’ my love for you.

 

Ain’t She Sweet?

Ain’t She Sweet? See her coming down the street.

Now I ask you very confidentially: Ain’t she sweet?

Ain’t she nice, look her over once or twice.

Now I ask you very confidentially: Ain’ she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction.

Oh, me! Oh my! Ain’t that perfection?

I repeat, don’t you think that’s kind of neat?

And I ask you very confidentially: Ain’t she sweet?

 

Alexander’s Ragtime Band

Come on  and hear, come on and hear

Alexander’s Ragtime Band,

come on and hear, come on and hear

it’s the best band in the land.

They can play a buggle call,

like you never heard before,

so natural that you want to go to war;

that’s just the bestest band what am, honey lamb.

Come on along, come on along,

let me take you by the hand,

up to the man, up to the man,

who’s the leader of the band,

and if you care to hear the Swanee River

played in ragtime,

come on and hear, come on and hear

Alexander’s Ragtime Band.

 

Alice Blue Gown

In  my sweet little Alice Blue Gown

when I first wandered down into town

I was both proud and shy,

as I felt ev’ry eye.

But in ev´ry ´shop window

I’d primp, passing by.

Then in manner of fashion, I’d frown

and the world seemed to smile all around.

Till it wilted, I wore it.

I’ll always adore it,

my sweet little Alice Blue Gown.

 

All alone

All alone, I’m so all alone, there’s no one else but you

All alone by the telephone waiting for a ringatimgaling

I’m all alone in the evening, all alone feeling blue.

Wond’ring where you are, and how you are,

and if you are all alone too.

 

All by myself

All by myself in the morning

all by myself in the night.

I sit alone in my cosy Morris chair

so unhappy there, playing solitaire.

All by myself I get lonely,

watching the clock on the shelf.

I’d like to rest my (weary) head

on somebody’s shoulder.

I hate to grow  older all by myself.

 

All of me

All of me, why not take all of me.

Can’t you see, I’m no good without you.

Take my lips, I want to loose them.

Take my arms, I’ll never use them.

Your good-bye left me with eyes that cry,

how can I go on without you.

You took the part that once was my heart,

so why not take all of me.

 

 

Am I blue

Am I blue, am I blue,

ain’t these tears in my eyes telling you.

Am I blue, you would be too,

when your plans with your woman won’t glue.

There was a time, I was the only one,

and now - I’m a sad and lonely one.

Was I gay, until today,

now she’s gone, and we’re through, am I blue

 

Anytime

Anytime you’re feeling lonely.

Anytime you’re feeling blue.

Anytime you feel downhearted.

That will prove your love for me is true.

Anytime you’re thinking ‘bout me,

that’s the time I’ll be thinking of you.

So, anytime you say you want me back again,

that’s the time I’ll come back home to you.

 

Avalon

I found my love in Avalon beside the bay.

I left my love in Avalon and sailed away.

I dream of her and Avalon from dusk till dawn.

And so I think I’ll travel on to Avalon

 

Baby face

Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face.

There’s not another one could take your place, baby face

My poor heart is jumpin’

you sure have started somethin’

Baby face, I’m up in heaven,

when I’m in your fond embrace.

I didn’t need a shove

‘cause I just fell in love

with your pretty baby face.

 

Baby won’t you please come home

Baby won’t you please come home

‘cause your Daddy’s all alone.

I have tried in vain

never no more to call your name.

When you left you broke my heart

because I never thought we’d part.

Ev’ry hour in the day, you will hear me say:

Baby, won’t you please come home:

 

Balling the Jack

Oh, first you put  your two feet close’n tight

swing ‘em to the left, an’ sway’em to the right

step around kind of nice an’ tight,

spin around, twin around with all your might.

Stretch your left arm out of space,

do the eagle rock with style an’ grace.

Put your foot around - bring it back.

That’s what I call Balling the Jack.

 

Basin Street Blues

Won’t-cha come along with me

to the Mississippi

We’ll take a boat to the lan’ of dreams,

steam down the river to New Orleans.

The band’s there to meet us,

old friends to greet us.

Where all the light and the dark folks meet.

Steam down the river to New Orleans.

 

This is Basin Street! Basin Street is the street

Where the lite always meet

in New Orleans, lan’ of dreams.

You’ll never know how  nice it seems,

or just how  much it really means.

Glad to be. Yes, sir-ee,

where welcome’s free, dear to me.

Where  I can lose my Basin Street Blues.

 

Because of you

Because of you there’s a song in my heart.

Because of you my romance had it’s start.

Because of you the sun will shine,

the moon and stars will tell you’re mine,

for ever and never to part.

I only live for your love and your kiss.

It’s paradise to be with you like this.

Because of you my life is now  worth while

and I can smile, because of you.

 

Bill Bailey

Won’t you come home Bill Bailey, won’t you come home,

she cried the whole night long.

I’ll do the dishes, honey, I’ll pay the rent.

I know I done you wrong.

‘Member that rainy ev’ning I drove you out

with nothin’ but a fine tooth comb?

I know I’m to blame, well ain’t that a shame;

Bill Bailey won’t you please come home

 

Black and blue

Cold emty bed - springs made of lead,

pain in my head, feel like ol’ Ned,

what did I do to be so Black and blue.

No joys for me - no company,

even the mouse ran from my house,

all my life thru’ - I’ve been so black an’ blue.

I’m white inside - it don’t help my case,

‘cause I can’t hide What’s on my face.

I’m so forlorn - life’s just a thorn,

my heart is torn - why was I born.

What did I do to be so black an’ blue.

 

Blue Moon 

Blue Moon  you saw  me standing alone,

without a dream in my heart,

without a love of my own.

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for,

you heard me saying a pray’r for

someone I really could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me

the only one my arms will ever hold.

I heard somebody whisper: “Please adore me”.

And when I looked the moon had turned to gold.

Blue Moon, I’m no longer alone

without a dream in my heart,

without a love of my own.

 

Blue Skies

Blue Skies smiling at me.

Nothing but blue skies do I see.

Blue birds singing a song.

Nothing but blue birds all day long.

Never saw the sun shining so bright.

Never saw things going so right.

Noticing the days hurrying by;

when you’re in love, my how they fly.

Blue days all of them gone.

Nothing but blue skies from now  on!

 

Blueberry Hill

Do you recall a year ago to night?

We stood an watched the golde sun decending.

When love had just begun,

why did there have to be an ending?

Do you recall a year ago tonight?

 

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill,

on Blueberry Hill when I found you.

The moon stood still and lingered until

my dreams came true.

The wind in the willow played love’s sweet melody,

but all of the vows we made were never to be.

Tho’ we’re apart, you’re part of me still

for you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill.

 

Bourbon Street

Let’s fly down, let’s float down to New Orleans.

That city, so pretty, historic scenes.

I’ll take you, parade you down Bourbon Street

to a lot of hot spots, show you all the big shots

down on Bourbon Street

 

Bye, Bye Blackbird

Pack up all my care an woe, here I go, singing low

Bye, Bye Blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me, sugar’s sweet, so is she

Bye, Bye Blackbird.

No one here can love and understand me.

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me.

Make my bed and light the light

I’ll arrive late tonight,

Blackbird, Bye, Bye

 

Bye, Bye Blues

Bye, Bye Blues - Bye, Bye Blues

Bells ring, birds sing.

Sun is shining, no more pining.

Just we two, smiling thru’

Don’t sigh, don’t cry - Bye, Bye Blues.

 

Caldonia

Walkin’ with mah baby, she’s got great big feet.

She’s long, lean and lanky ain’t had nothin’ to eat.

But she’s my baby and I love her just the same.

Crazy ‘bout that woman ‘caus Caldonia is her name.

Caldonia, Caldonia! What makes your big head so hard?

But I love you, love you just the same.

Crazy ‘bout that woman ‘cause Caldonia is her name.

 

Carry me back to old Virginny.

There’s were the cotton and the corn taters grow.

There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime.

Thre’s where this old dark-y’s heart am long’d to go.

There’s where i la’bor’d all day in the cotton.

There’s where I worked in the fields of yellow corn.

No place on earth do I love more sincrely,

than old Virginny, the state where I was born.

 

Chinatown  my  Chinatown

where the lights are low.

Hearts that know  no other land

drifting to and fro.

Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown

almond eyes  of brown

Hearts seem light and life seems bright

in dreamy  Chinatown.

 

Ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, a melody

your heart can toss up to the sky

Ciribiribin ,a song to sing

when ever things  have gone awry.

Ciribiribin, when you feel sad

just hum it for a little while.

Ciribiribin soon as you begin

Ciribiribin the world will smile

 

Coquette

Tell me why you keep fooling, little Coquette,

breaking hearts you are ruling.

Making fun of the ones who love you,

true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.

Someday you’ll fall in love, as I fell in love with you.

May-be someone you love will just be fooling

and when you’re alone with only regret,

you’ll know, little Coquette, I loved you.

 

Crazy

Crazy, I’m crazy for beeing so lonely

I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

I knew, you’d love me as long as you wanted,

and then someday, you’d leave me for somebody new.

Worry, why do I let myself worry

Wond’ring what in the world did I do

Crazy, for thinking that my love could hold you.

I’m crazy fo trying

and crazy for crying

and I’m crazy for loving you.

 

Crying Time

Oh, it’s Crying Time again, you’re gonna leave me.

I can  see that faraway look in your eye.

I can tell by the way you hold me darling

that it won’t be long before it’s crying time.

 

1.Now they say that absence makes the heart grow  fonder

and the tears are only rain to make love grow.

Well my love you could never grow  no stronger

if I live to be a hundred years old

 

2.Now  you say you’ve found someone  you loved better.

That’s the way it’s happened every time before.

And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow

Crying time will start when you walk out the door.

 

Dallas Blues

/:/I’ve got the Dallas Blues and the main street hard decease

(it’s buzzin’ round)./:/

Buzz around my head like a swarm of honey bees.

/:/I’m gonna put myself on the Santa Fee and go

(I’m gonna go)/:/

down to that Texas town, where they never see ice and snow.

 

Dancing with Tears in My eyes

For I’m Dancing with Tears in My eyes,

‘cause the girl in my arms isn’t you.

Dancing with somebodyt new,

when it’s you that my heart’s calling to.

Trying to smile - once in a while.

But I find it so hard to do.

For I’m dancing with tears in my eyes,

‘cause the girl in my arms isn’t  you.

 

Darktown Strutters Ball

I’ll be down to get you in a taxi, Honey,

you better be ready about half past eight.

Now deary don’t be late.

I want to be there when the band starts playing.

Remember when we get there, Honey,

the two steps. I’m goin’ to have them all,

goin’ to dance out both my shoes,

when they play the “Jelly Roll Blues”

tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutters Ball.

 

Den allersidste dans

Altid vil jeg mindes denne aften,

altid vil jeg huske denne dans.

Tåren i dit blik, smilet om din mund,

ja altid vil jeg mindes denne stund.

Den allersidste dans før vi går hjem,

før solen og en ny dag bryder frem.

Endnu er du  mig nær, endnu er natten vor,

og yndig er den sidste vals, før vi går.

Et møde med din mund før vi går hjem,

det ønsker jeg mig kun, før vi går hjem.

En aften er forbi, nu hvisker jeg godnat

og kysser dig på gensyn , du!

Jeg har aldrig følt himlen så nær som nu.

 

Det var på Capri

Det var på Capri, jeg så hende komme,

det var på Capri, jeg så hun forsvandt!

Det hele skete, før natten var omme,

før jeg fatted’, om synet var sandt.

Hun stod med eet som en fe ved min side,

og hendes mund var en yndig rubin,

og med et smil lod den stille mig vide,

at den ønsked’, det samme som min.

Himlen havde tændt sin lygte,

månen løste hjertet ud:

Frøken, De er den jeg søgte,

den jeg tit har drømt, blev min brud.

Men hun fløj bort på usymlige vinger,

og med ét så jeg, grunden var den,

hun bar en glat ring af guld på sin finger.

Jeg ta’r aldrig til Capri igen.

 

Dinah

Dinah, is there anyone finer in the state of Carolin.a

If there is and you know*er  show’er to me.

Dinah with her Dixie eyes blazin’.

How I love to sit and gaze in-tothe eyes of Dinah Lee.

Ev’ry night, why do I, shake with fright,

because my Dinah might change her mind about me.

Dinah if she wandered to China,

I would hop an ocean liner, just to be with Dinah Lee.

 

Dit hjerte er i fare Andresen.

Det er det jo hver gang, det bli’r maj.

Når fuglene sig parrer Andresen,

så er der osse bud efter dig!

I dit unge hjerte svulmer kraften.

Der er erotik i luften, hvor du så går hen.

Andresen, det er lis’dan i aften.

Med andre ord. Nu er du på’n igen!

 

Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans,

and miss it each night and day?

I know I’m not wrong, the feelings geting stronger,

the longer I stay away.

Miss the moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines,

where  mocking birds used to sing.

And I’d like to see the lazy Mississippi

a hurrying into spring.

The moon light on the bayou,

a creole tune thet fills the air.

I dream about magnolias in  June.

And soon I’m wishing that I was there.

Do you know  what it means to miss New  Orleans,

when that’s where you left your heart.

And there’s something more,.

I miss the one I care for,

more than I miss New Orleans.

 

Don’t Get Around Much Anymore

Missed the Saturday dance,

heard they crowded the floor.,

Couldn’t bear it without you.

Don’t Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I’d visit the club,

got as far as the door.

They’d have asked me about you,

don’t get around much anymore.

Darling I guess my mind’s more at ease,

but never the less we stir up memories.

Been invited on dates,

might have gone but what for,

awfully different whithout you,

don’t get around much anymore.

 

Dream

Dream, I had a dream last night.

I saw my loved one standing in the light.

She turned an’ then she went away,

left me wond’ring why.

I begged her: Darling won’t you stay,

and woke up with a sigh

Dream, I had a dream last night.

I saw my loved one standin’ in the light.

I know it was illusion

though it seemed so real,

and now in my con fusion

I see, it’s love I steal.

 

Dream a little dream of me

Stars shinin’ right above you

night breezes seem to whisper I love you,

birds singin’ in a sycamore tree,

Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night an’ kiss me,

just hold me tight an’ tell me you’ll miss me.

While I’m alone an’ blue as can be,

dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on dear

still craving your kiss.

I’m longing to linger till dawn dear just saying this:

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,

sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,

but in your dreams whatever they’ll be

dream a little dream of me.

 

Du gamle måne

Du gamle måne, der var ingen, der så det,

du gamle måne, og kun du kan forstå det,

du så mig hulke som et barn, samme nat.

Hun mig havde forladt.

Måne, er du virk´li´ min ven?

Måne, så glem det igen.

 

Du gamle måne, der var ingen, der så det,

du gamle måne, og kun du kan forstå det.

Når jeg kom fuld hjem nat på nat har du le´t,

alting, alting har du set

Måne, er du virk´li´ min ven?

Måne, glem det igen

 

Exactly like you

I know why I’ve waited, know  why I’ve been blue,

I pray each night for someone

Exactly like you.

Why should we spend money on a show or two?

No one does the love scenes

exactly baby like you.

You make me feel so grand,

I want the world to know

I hope you’ll understand

each foolish little scheme I’m scheemin’

dream I’m dreamin’.

Now I know my mother

taught me to be true.

She meant me for someone exactly baby like you.

 

Five Foot two Eyes of Blue.

But oh what those two foot could do.

Has anybody seen my girl?

Turned  up nose, turned down hose,

never had no other beaus.

Has anybody seen my girl?

Now if run into a five foot two

covered with fur, diamond rings

and all those things.

Bet cha’life it isn’t her.

But could she love, could she woo?

Could she, could she coo?

Has anybody seen my girl?

 

Forgive Me

Forgive me, please forgive me,

I didn’t mean to make you cry.

I’m sorry, yes I’m so sorry,

anything but don’t say goodbye.

Let bye gones be bye gones

for we all make mistakes now and then.

Forgive me and kiss me my darling.,

and let’s be sweethearts again.

 

Four Leaf Clover

I’m looking over a Four leaf clover

that I overlooked before.

One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain

third is the roses that grow in the lane.

No need explaining, the one remaining

is somebody I adore.

I’m looking over a four leaf clover

that I overlooked before

 

Georgia

Georgia, Georgia the whole day through

just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Georgia, Georgia the sound of you

comes as sweet and clear as moonbeams through the pine

Other arms reach out to me

other eyes smile tenderly.

Still in my peaceful dreams I see

the road leads back to you.

Oh, Georgia, Georgia no peace I find

just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my  mind.

 

Girl of my dreams

Girl of my dreams, I love you

honest I do, you are so sweet.

If I could just hold your charms

once again in my arms

my life would be complete.

But since you’ve been gone, dear

life don’t seem the same,

won’t you come back again.

After all said and done

you are the one

Oh, girl of my dreams, it’s you.

 

Glory of love

You’ve got to give a little, take a little,

and let your poor heart break a little.

That’s the story of, Thats the Glory of love.

You’ve got to laugh a little, cry a little,

before the clouds roll by a little.

That’s the story of,  that’s the glory of love.

As long as there’s the two of us,

we’ve got the world and all it’s charms.

And when the world is through with us,

we’ve got each others arms.

You’ve got to win a little, lose a little,

and always have the blues a little.

Thats the story of, that’s the glory of love.

 

Have You Ever Been Lonely?

Have you ever been lonely? Have you ever been blue?

Have you ever loved someone just as I love you?

Can’t you see I’m sorry for each mistake I’ve made?

Can’t you see I’ve changed dear, can’t you  see I’ve paid?

Be a little forgiving, take me back in your heart.

How can I og on living, now  that we’re apart?

If you knew what I’ve been through,

you would know why I ask you:

Have you ever been lonely, have you ever been blue?

 

Hindustan

Hindustan, where we stopped to rest our tired caravan.

Hindustan, where the painted peacock proudly spread his fan

Hindustan, where the purpled sunbird flashed across the sand.

Hindustan, where I met her, and the world began.

 

His Eye Is on the Little Sparrow

Yes I sing because I’m happy.

Yes I sing because I’m free

‘Cause His Eye Is on the Little Sparrow

and I know He watches me.

 

Hit The Road Jack

Hit The Road Jack, and don´t you come back /:/no more/:/.

Hit the road Jack and don´t you come back no more.

Woo! woman, oh, woman don´t treat me so mean.

You´re the meanest old woman that I´ve ever seen.

I guess if you said so, I´d have to pack my things and go.

Hit the road Jack, and don´t  you come back /:/no more/:/

Hit the road Jack, and don´t  you come back no more.

Now, Baby listen, don´t you treat me this a way,

for I´ll bee back on my feet some day.

Don´t care if you do, ´cause it´s understood.

You ain´t got no money, you ain´t no good.

Well I guess if you say so. I´d have to pack my things´n og.

 

Honey

I’m in love with you, Honey,

Say you love me too, honey

No one else will do, honey

seems funny, but it’s true.

Loved you from the start, honey

bless your little heart, honey.

Ev’ry day would be so sunny,

honey with you.

 

How can you leave me

How can you leave me when I need you so.

How can you leave me  when I’m blue.

I feel so lowdown, this is a showdown.

Where is the love that we knew.

When love was trouble and I lost my way

you only saved me through somehow.

I was a dumb one, you made me someone.

But how can you leave me now?

 

I Ain’t Gonna Give Nobody None of my Jelly Roll

I ain’t gonna give nobody none of my Jelly Roll

I wouldn’t give you a piece of this cake to save your soul

My mamma told me today, before she ran away

 told me to be a good little boy

and put my heart out of the way

It’s no use for you to keep hangin’ around.

I know you want, but I got to turn you down.

1) This Jelly Roll is so sweet

but I know it can’t be beat.

know you want it, but you can’t have it.

Ain’t gonna give you none.

2)Now, your Jelly Roll may be fine,

but it ain’t as good as mine.

know you want it, but you can’t have it.

Ain’t gonna give you none.

 

I ain’t got nobody

Now, I ain’t got nobody,

and nobody cares for me.

(I got the blues - the weary blues)

A’n I’m so sad and lonely.

won’t somebody come, and take the chance with me?

I’ll sing sweet love songs, honey, all the time,

if you’ll come and be my sweet baby mine.

‘Cause, I ain’t got nobody, and nobody cares for me.

 

I Can’t Believe that You’re in Love with Me

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too

I never knew  what they could do.

I Can’t Believe that You’re in Love with Me.

You’re telling everyone I know,

I’m on your mind each place you  go.

They can’t believe thet you’re in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me

I just can’t imagine that you love me.

And after all is said and done,

to think that I’m the lucky one.

I can’t believe that you’re in love with me.

 

I Can’t Give You Anything but Love, Baby.

That’s the only thing I’ve plenty of, baby.

Dream a while, scheme a while, we’re sure to find

happiness, and I guess: all those things, you’ve always pined for.

Gee, I’d like to see you looking swell, baby,

diamond bracelets, Woolworth doesn’t sell, baby.

Till that lucky day you know darn’d well, baby

I can’t give you anything but love.

 

I can´t help falling in love with you.

Wise men say only fools rush in, but

I can´t help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If

I can´t help falling in love with you.

Like the river flows surely to the sea.

Darling so it goes. Some things are meant to be.

Take my hand, take my whole life too. For

I can´t help falling in love with you.

 

I cried for you.

Now it’s your turn to cry over me.

Ev’ry road has it’s turning

that’s one thing, you’re learning.

I cried for yo,.

what a fool I used to be.

Now I found two eyes, just a little bit bluer.

I found a heart, just a little bit truer.

I cried for you,

now it’s your turn to cry over me.

 

 

I did it My Way.

And now  the end is near,

and so I face the final curtain.

My friend, I’ll say it clear,

I’ll state my case of which I,m certain:

I’ve lived a life that’s full.

I travelled each and ev’ry highway,

and more much more than this:

I did it My Way.

 

Regrets , I’ve had a few,

but then  again too few to mention.

I did, what I had to do,

and saw it through with no exemption.

I planned each chartered course,

each  careful step along the byway.

And more more , much more than this:

I did it my way.

 

Yes there were times, I’m sure you knew,

when I bit of more than I could chew.

But thru it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit out.

I faced it all, and stood up tall,

and did it my way.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.

I’ve my fil my share of loosing.

And now, as tears subside,

I find it all so amusing.

To think  I did all that,

and may I say not in a shy way.

Oh, no oh, no not me.

I did it my way.

For what’s a man, what has he got,

if not himself, than he has not

to say the things he truly feels,

and not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows, I took the blows

and did it my way.

 

I get the blues when it rains.

Now, I get the blues when it rains.

The blues I can loose , when it rains.

Each little tear drop that falls on my window pane,

always reminds me of the tears I shed in vain.

I sit and wait for the sun,

for the sun to shine on me once again.

It rained when I found you, it rained when I lost you.

That’s why I’m so blue.

 

I Love You.

I love you, I love you is all that I can say.

I love you, I love you,

the same old words,

I’m saying in the same old way.

I love you, I love you,

three words that are divine.

And now my dear, I’m waiting to hear

the words that make you mine.

 

I Surrender Dear.

We’ve played the game of stay away.

But it costs more than I can pay.

Without you I can’t make my way

I Surrender Dear

I may seem proud, I may act gay.

It’s just a pose, I’m not that way.

‘Cause deep down in my heart I say:

I surrender dear.

Little mean things we were doing

must have been part of the game,

lending a spice to the wooing.

But I don’t care who’s to blame.

When stars appear and shadows fall.

Why then you’ll hear my poor heart call:

To you my love, my life my all

I surrender dear

 

I Want a Little Girl.

I want a little girl to call my own,

it must be someone who’s all alone,

just a little girl to fall in love with me.

I want a little girl, she may not look

like the picture in the stolen book,

but if she can cook, she’s the one of two for tea.

She don’t have to wave her hair

or dress in fancy clothes.

And I wouldn’t even care,

if she didn’t wear silken hose.

I want a little girl to love a lot,

I’ll give anything that I ‘ve got

for a little girl to fall in love with me

 

I Wish I Could Shimmy Like my Sister Kate

Now I wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate

She takes it it like bully jelly on a plate.

My Mummy wanted to know last night,

why sister Kate could do it so right.

And all the boys in the neighbourhood

know she can shake it, and it’s mighty good.

Now I may be late, but I’ll be up to date

an’ shimmy like my sister Kate

Now boys you know if I can shake like Kate,

you’ll never see me come home too late.

I’ll get my stuff high as a kite,

I’d always do it, most ev’ry night.

And all the boys in the neighborhood

know she can do it, and it’s mighty good.

I know I’m late, but I’ll be up to date,

(I’m comin’ thru that Golden Gate)

and I want nobody but Kate. - Shake it now!

 

I Wonder What Became of Sally

I wonder what became of Sally,

that ol’ gal of mine.

The sunshine’s missin’ from the alley,

ever since the day, Sally went away.

No matter what she is, where ever she may be.

If no one wants her now,

please send her back to me.

I’ll always welcome home my Sally,

that ol’ gal of mine.

 

I wonder who´s kissin’ her now,

wonder who´s teaching her now.

Wonder who´s looking into her eyes,

breathing sighs, telling lies.

I wonder who´s buying the wine

for lips that used to be mine

I wonder if she ever tells him of me.

I wonder who´s kissin’ her now.

 

 

I’m alone because I love you,

love you with all my heart.

I’m alone because I had to be true,

sorry, I can’t say the same about you.

Yesterday’s kisses are bringing me pain,

yesterday’s sunshine has turned into rain

I’m alone because I love you,

love you with all my heart.

 

I’m confessin’

I’m confessin’ that I love you

tell me do you love me too.

I’m confessin’ that I need you,

honest I do - need you ev’ry moment.

In your eyes I read so strange things,

but your lips deny they’re true

Will your answer really change things,

making me blue.

I’m afraid someday, you’ll leave me

saying: Can’t we still be friends.

If you go now, you’ll grieve me

all in life on you depends.

Am I guessin’ that you love me,

dreamin’ dreams of you in vain.

I’m confessin’ that I love you - over again.

 

I’m Gonna Sit Right Down

I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter.

an’ make believe it came from you.

I’m gonna write words all so sweet.

They’re gonna bring me ‘pon my feet.

And on the bottom, sure I’m glad that I have got’em.

I’m gonna smile an’ say: I hope you’re feelin’ better,

an’ close with love the way you do.

I’m gonna sit right down, an’ write myself a letter,

An’ make believe it came from you.

 

I’m in the mood for love

simply because you’re near me.

Funny, but when you’re near me,

I’m in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes

bright as the stars we’re under.

Oh is it any wonder,

I’m in the mood for love.

Why stop to think of whether,

this little dream might fade?

We’ve put our hearts together.

Now we are one, I’m not afraid.

If there’s a cloud above,

if it should rain, we’ll let it.

But for tonight forget it,

I’m in the mood for love.

 

If I Didn’t Care

If I didn’t care, more than words can say.

If I didn’t care, would I feel this way.

If this isn’t love, then maybe I’m wrong.

But why do I lie awake all night, and dream all day long.

If I didn’t care, would it be the same,

would my ev’ry pray’r

begin and end with just your name.

And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare.

Would all this be true if I didn’t care for you

 

In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,

when the love in your eyes I could see.

When the voice that I heard,

like the song of the bird,

seem’d to whisper sweet music to me.

I could hear the dull buzz of the bee,

in the blossoms as you said to me:

With a heart that is true,

I’ll be waiting for you,

in the shade of the old apple tree.

 

Oh, It Looks Like Rain in Cherry Blossom Lane

1) The sunshine of your smile is no longer there.

2) Your lovely voice no longer fills the air

Oh, it looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane.

1) Your smiling voice no longer fills the air.

2) Your smiling face is no longer there.

The happy notes have left the old mill stream.

There’s nothing left for me but just to dream.

There’ll never be more rain in Cherry Blossom Lane,

If only you will tell me that you care.

 

It’s a sin to tell a lie.

Be sure it’s true when you say I love you.

It’s a sin to tell a lie.

Millions of hearts have been broken,

Just because theese words were spoken:

I love you, yes, I do, I love you

If you break my heart I’ll die.

So be sure that it’s true,

when you say: I love you

It’s a sin to tell a lie.

 

Jada

/:/ Jada, jada, jada jada, jing jing jing/:/

That’s a funny little bit of melody.

It’s so soothing and appealing to me.

It goes: Jada, jada jada, jing jing jing.

 

June night

Just give me a June night,

the moonlight and you.

In my arms with all your charms,

‘neath stars above, and we’ll make love.

I’ll hold you, enfold you,

then dreams will come true.

So give me a June night,

the moonlight and you.

 

Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Just a Closer Walk with Thee,

granny Jesus if you please.

Help me walking close with Thee.

Let it be dear Lord, let it be.

 

I am weak, and Thou is strong,

keep me Jesus from all wrong.

I’ll be satisfied as long,

as I walk dear Jesus close with Thee.

 

Just a little While

Just a little While to be here

Just a Little While to stay

Just a little more hard Labour

In the Cotton Field all Day

Just a little more hard Trouble

In this rotten sinful State

Then we’ll all come marching over

Marching through that Golden Gate

 

Lady be Good

Oh, sweet and lovely Lady be Good! oh, lady be good to me.

I’m so awf’ly misunderstood , so lady be good to me.

Oh, please have some pity.

I’m all alone in this big city.

I tell you I’m just a lonesome babe in the wood,

so lady be good to me.

 

Lazy River

I like lazy weather. I like lazy days.

Can’t be blamed for having lazy ways.

Some old Lazy River sleeps beside my door,

whisp’ring to the sunlit shore:

 

Up a lazy river by the old mill run.

That lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun.

Linger in the shade of a kind of old tree.

Throw away your troubles, dream a dream with me.

Up a lazy river where the robin’s song

wakes a bright new morning. We can loaf along.

Blue skies up above, ev’ry-one’s in love.

Up a lazy river how happy you can be.

Up a lazy river with me.

 

 

 

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you.

Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.

Keep the love light glowing in your eyes so true.

Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you.

 

Li’l Liza Jane

I´ve got a gal ,and you’ve got none, Li’l Liza Jane

I´ve got a gal ,and you´ve got none, Li’l Liza Jane

Oh Liza, Li’l Liza Jane, Oh Liza, Li’l Liza Jane,

 

Come my love an’ live with me, Li’l Liza Jane.

I’ll take good care of thee, Li’l Liza Jane.

Oh Liza, Li’l Liza Jane, Oh Liza, Li’l Liza Jane,

 

Linger a While.

The stars shine above you,

yet Linger a while.

The whisper I love you,

so linger a while.

And when you have gone away

each hour will seem a day.

I’ve something to tell you,

so linger a while.

 

Loui-si-an-i-a.

L-o-u-i-s-i-a-na.

Loui-si-an-i-a.

New Orleans and creole queens

to chase my blues away.

Oh, Mississippi roll along

and hurry me home to you.

Red beans and rice is paradise

Loui-si an -i a, I’m comin’ to you,

Loui-si an- i a.

 

Love Me or Leave Me

Love Me or Leave Me and let me be lonely.

You won’t believe me, and I love you onely.

I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else.

You may find the night time the right time for kissing.

But night time is my time for just reminiscing,

regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else.

There’ll be noone unless that someone is you,

I intend to be independently blue.

I want your love but I don’t want to borrow,

to have it today and give back tomorrow.

For my love is your love, thre’s no love for nobody else.

 

Love Me Tender

Love me tender, love me do,

darling I love you.

Love me tender, love me sweet

make my life complete.

Love me tender, love me true

and my life fulfill.

Oh my darling, I love you,

and I always will.

 

Margie.

My little Margie

I’m always thinking of you, Margie.

I’ll tell the world I love you,

don’t forget yuor promise to me.

I’ve bought a home and ring and ev’rything.

For Margie, you’ve been my inspiration,

days are never blue.

After all is said and done,

there’s really only one.

Oh, Margie, Margie, it’s you.

 

Mean to me.

You’re Mean to me. Why must you be mean to me?

Gee honey, it seems to me, you love to see me crying.

I don’t know why I stay home each night.

When you say you’ll phone, you don’t,

and I’m left alone singing the blues and sighing.

You treat me coldly each day in the year.

You always scold me, whenever somebody is near.

It must be great fun to be mean to me,

you shouldn’t, for can’t you see, what you mean to me.

 

Memories.

Memories, memories, dreams of love so true.

Over the sea of sweet memory

I’m drifting back to you.

Childhood days, wild wood days

among the birds and bees.

You left me alone,

but still you’re my own

in my beautiful memories

 

Memories of You.

Waking skies at sunrise, ev’ry sunset too

seems to be bringing  me  Memories of You.

Here and there, ev’ry-where, scenes that we once knew.

And they all just recall memories of you.

How I wish I could forget those happy yester-years

that have left a rosary of tears.

Your face beams in my dreams ‘spite of all I do.

Ev’ry-thing seems to bring  memories of you.

 

Moonlight Bay.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay.

We could hear the voices ringing,

and they seemed to say:

You have stolen my heart, now don’t og away

as we sang love’s old sweet song

on Moonlight Bay.

 

My Blue Heaven.

When Whippoor-wills call and ev’ning is night

I hurry to My Blue Heaven.

A turn to the right a little white light

will lead you to my blue heaven.

You’ll see a smiling face, a fire place, a cozy room,

a little nest that’s nestled where the roses bloom.

Just Mollie and me and baby makes three.

We’re  happy in my blue heaven

 

My little girl

My little girl, you know I love you,

and I long for you ev’ry day.

My little girl, you know I need you,

though you’re many miles away.

My little girl, I’ll never worry,

you promised me that you’ll stay too.

My little girl, you know I love you,

and I’m comin’ right home to you

 

 

My Melancholy Baby.

Come to me, My Melancholy Baby

cuddle up and don’tbe blue.

All ypur fears are foolish fancy may be.

You know dear that I’m in love with you.

Ev’ry cloud must have a silver lining,

wait untill the sun shines through.

Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear,

or else I shall be melancholy too.

 

 

Nyboders  pris

Om Nybo’er jeg kvæde vil en vise,

kun en jævn og simpel lille sang,

Holmens gamle rønner vil jeg prise

der jeg selv i vuggen lå engang.

Hver en plet herude rummer minder,

om de helte som på havet for,

her er skønt, når sommersolen skinner

på de røde tage i Nybo’er

 

Skal den grå cementbeton fortrænge

Holmens gule by, næ, fy for fa’en

jeg og Bjørnegades raske drenge

stemmer i til mundharmonika’n

Væk med hver en høj og grim kaserne,

københavner, syng med om Nybo’er

vi vil altid stå på vagt og værne

om de gamle minder i Nybo’er

 

Old Kentucky Home.

The sun shines bright in the Old Kentucky Home,

‘tis summer, the darkies are gray .

The corn-top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom,

while the birds make music all the day.

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,

all merry, all happy an bright.

By’n by hard times comes aknocking at the door,

then my old Kentucky, good night.

Weep no more my lady,

Oh weep no more today!

We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,

for the old Kentucky home far away.

 

Old time religion

Give me that Old time religion,

give me that old time religion,

give me that old time religion,

it’s good enough for me.

It was good for my old mother,

it was good for my old mother,

it was good for my old mother.

It’s good enough for me.

 

Good for Paul and Silas - Hebrew Children

 

On the sunny side of the street.

Grab your coat, and get your hat,

leave your worries on the door step.

Just direct your feet

to the sunny side of the street.

Can’t you hear a pitter pat,

and that happy sound is your step.

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street.

I used to walk in the shade,

with those blues on parade.

But I’m not afraid.

This Rover crossed over.

If I never had a cent,

I’ll be rich as Rockefeller.

Gold dust at my feet

on the sunny side of the street.

 

Peg o’ my Heart

Peg o’ my heart, I love you.

Don’t let us part, I love you.

I always knew  it would be you

since I heard your lilting laughter,

it’s your Irish heart I’m after.

Peg o’ my heart, your glances

make my heart say: how’s chances.

Come be my own, come  make your home in my heart.

 

Peg o’ my heart, I love you.

we’ll never part, I love you.

Dear little girl, sweet little girl,

sweeter than roses of Erin

are your winning smiles endearing.

Peg o’ my heart, your glances

with Irish art entrance us.

Come be my own, come make your home in  my heart.

 

Pennies From Heaven.

Ev´ry time it rains, it rains Pennies From Heaven.

Don´t you know each cloud contains pennies from Heaven.

You´ll find your fortune falling all over town.

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.

If you want the things you love, you must have showers.

So when you hear it thunder, don´t run under a tree.

There´ll be pennies from Heaven for you and me

 

Please

Please, lend your little ear to my pleas

lend a ray of cheer to my pleas,

Tell me that you love me too.

Please let me hold you tight in my arms,

I could find delight in your charms,

tell me that you love me too.

Ev’ry night my whole life through.

your eyes reveal that you have the soul of an angel white as snow,

but how long must I play the role of gloomy Romeo.

Oh please, say you’re not intending to tease,

speed the happy ending, and please,

tell me that you love me.

 

Please don’t Talk about Me When I’m Gone

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone, oh honey.

though our friendship ceases from now on, an’ listen

If you can’t say anything real nice, it’s better,

not to talk at all is my advice.

Now, you go your way, I’ll go mine.

It’s best that we do.

Here’s a kiss hope that this brings lots of luck to you.

Makes no difference how I carry on, remember:

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone.

 

Red Roses for a Blue Lady.

I want some Red roses for a blue lady.

Mister florist take my order, please.

We’ve had a silly quarrel just the other day.

Now I think some flowers take her blues away.

Wrap up some red roses for a blue lady,

send them to the sweetest girl in town.

And if they do the trick, I shall be back quick

to buy some others for her wedding gown.

 

Red Sails in the Sunset

Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea.

Oh carry my loved one, home safely to me.

She sailed at the dawning, all day I’ve been blue.

Red sails in the sunset, I’m trusting you.

Swift wings you must borrow, make straight for the shore.

We marry tomorrow, and she goes sailing no more.

Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea.

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me.

 

Rose Room

In sunny Roseland,where summer breezes are playing,

where - the honey bees are a-maying.

There - all the roses are swaying,

dancing - while the meadow brooks flow.

The moon when shining, is more than ever designing.

For - it is ever I am pining.

Pining to be sweetly reclining,

somewhere in Roseland beside a beautiful rose.

 

Rosetta.

Rosetta, my Rosetta in  my heart dear,

there’s noone but you.

You told me that you loved me,

never leave me for someone new.

You’ve made my whole life a dream,

I pray you’ll make it come true.

Rosetta, my Rosetta, please say,

you love me too

 

Running Wild

Running wild, lost control,

running wild mighty bold,

feeling gay, reckless too,

carefree mind all the time never blue.

Always goin´, don´t know where,

always showin´that I don´t care.

Don´t love nobody, it´s not worthwhile.

I´m lost, I´m running wild

 

Sentimental Journey.

1 Gonna take a Sentimental Journey,

gonna set my heart at ease.

Gonna make a sentimental journey

to renew  old memories.

2) Got my bag, I got my reservation,

spent each dime I could afford.

Like a child in wild anticipation,

long to hear that “All a board.”

Seven, that’s the time we leave at seven.

I’ll be waitin’ up for Heaven,

counting ev’ry mile of railroad track that takes me back.

Never thought my heart could be so “yearn-y.”

Why did I decide to roam?

Gotta take a sentimental journey-

sentimental journey home

 

Should I Reveal.

Should I Reveal, exactly how I feel.

Should I reveal, I love you.

Should I recite beneath the pale moonlight,

and swear by stars above you.

Could I repeat the sweetest story told.

Could I entreat, would it be too bold.

Should I reveal, exactly how I feel.

Should I confess I love you.

 

Sleepy Time Gal.

Sleepy time gal, you’re turning night into day.

Sleepy time gal, you’ve danced the ev’ning away.

Before each silv’ry star fades out of sight

please give me one little kiss,

then let us whisper goodnight.

It’s gettin’ late, and your pillow’s waiting

Sleepy time gal, when all your dancing is thru.

Sleepy time gal, I’ll find a cottage for you.

You’ll learn to cook and to sew

what’s more you’ll love it I know,

when you’re a stay-at-home, play-at-home

eight-o’clock sleepy time gal.

I’m just the one for you.

 

Smile.

Smile tho’your heart is aching.

Smile even tho’ it’s breaking.

When there are clouds in the sky,

you’ll get by, if you

smile through your fear and sorrow,

smile and may be tomorrow,

you’ll see the sun come shining thru for you.

Light up your face with gladness.

Hide ev’ry trace of sadness,

althou’ a tear may be ever so near.

That’s the time you must keep on trying.

Smile what’s the use of crying.

You’ll find that life is still worth while

if you’ll just smile.

 

Solitude

In  my Solitude you haunt me

with reveries of days gone by.

In my solitude you taunt me

with memories that never die.

I sit in my chair, I’m filled with despair.

Ther’s no one could be so sad.

With gloom ev’ry-where I sit and stare.

I know I’ll soon og mad.

In my solitude I’m praying:

Dear Lord above send back my love!

 

Somebody else is taking my place,

somebody else now shares your embrace.

While I am trying to keep from crying,

you go around with a smile on your face.

Little you care for vows that you made,

little you care how much I have paid.

My heart is aching, my heart is breaking

for somebody else is taking my place.

 

Somebody Stole my Gal

Somebody stole my gal, sombody stole my pal.

Somebody came, and took her away.

She didn’t even, say she was leavin’.

The kisses I loved so, he’s getting, I don’t know.

And gee, I know that she

would come to me, if she could see

her broken-hearted lonesome pal.

Somebody stole my gal.

 

 

Someday

Feelin’ mighty blue, melancholy too,

since you made up your mind to go away.

Surely there must be someone else for me.

Then I’ll forget and you’ll regret. Just wait an’ see.

 

I know that Someday  you’ll want me to want you,

when I’m in love with  somebody else.

You’ll expect me to be true and keep on loving you .

Though I’m feeling blue, you think I can’t forget you

untill someday you’l want me to want you

when I am strong for somebody new.

And though you don’t want me now,

I’ll get along somehow, and then I won’t want you.

 

Someday You’ll be Sorry.

The way you treated me was wrong.

I was the one who taught you all you know.

Your friends had you

to make me sing, another song.

So good luck may be with you,

and all your future may insure.

Oh, there won’t be another

to treat you like a brother.

Someday you’ll be sorry dear.

 

 

St Louis Street Blues.

I’m so melancholy,

I’m just as blue and lonesome as can be

How can I be jolly,

when nobody cares for me.

I woke up at the dawn of day,

an’ wept the pillow where I lay.

and prayed I’d find someone to love me true

But it just seems that no one wants me.

That’s why I’ve got those St Louis Street Blues.

 

Stranger on the Shore

Here I stand watching the tide go out,

so all alone and blue,

just dreaming dreams of you.

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea,

taking all my dreams and taking all of me.

The sighing of  the waves, tha wailing of the wind.

The tears in my eyes burn

pleading my love return.

Why, oh why must I og on like this.

Shall I just be a lonely Stranger on the Shore

 

Sweet Georgia Brown.

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.

Two left feet, but oh so neat has sweet Georgia Brown.

They all sigh an’ wanna die for sweet Georgia Brown

I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie (not much).

1)It’s been said she knock’s’em dead when she lands in town.

Since she came, why it’s a shame how she cools’em down.

Fellers she can’t get, are fellers she ain’t met.

Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her

Sweet Georgia Brown.

2) All those tips the porters slips to sweet Georgia Brown.

They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down.

Oh boy tip your hats, oh joy she’s the “cat’s”.

Who’s that mister? Tain’t her sister,

sweet Georgia Brown

 

 

 

Sweet Lorraine.

I’ve just found joy, I’m so happy as a baby boy

with another brand new choo-choo toy,

when I’m with you Sweet Lorraine.

A pair of eyes that are bluer than the summer skies.

When toy see them you will realize

why I love my sweet Lorraine. (I’m so happy)

When it’s raining I don’t miss the sun,

for it’s in my sweeties smile.

Just to think that I’m the lucky one,

who will lead her down the aisle.

Each night I pray  nobody steals her heart away.

Just can’t wait till that happy day

when I marry sweet Lorraine.

 

Sweet Sue

Ev’ry star above, knows the one I love, Sweet Sue, just you.

And the moon up high, knows the reason why, sweet Sue, it’s you.

No one else it seems, ever shares my dreams,

and without you dear, I don’t know what I’d do.

In this heart of mine you’ll live all the time

Sweet Sue, just you.

 

Så længe jeg lever.

Så længe jeg lever, så længe mit hjerte slår,

så længe vil jeg elske dig.

Men du er en rullesten, du har ikke nok i én.

Derfor må du gå din egen vej.

Du si’r, du har en anden ven.

Hvad jeg frygted’ mest, er sket mig nu igen.

Du fortæller li’som sidst,

at det’ den store kærlighed.

Okay min blomst, behold ham blot i fred.

Så længe jeg lever, så længe mit hjerte slår,

så længe vil jeg elske dig.

Men du er en rullesten, du har ikke nok i ‘en.

Derfor må du gå din egen vej.

 

At tiden læger alle sår

si’r de vise mænd, jeg håber de forstår,

hvad de taler om, jeg tror

det næppe simpelthen

fordi de aldrig

prøved’ dette helt forbi.

 

Tak for gode som for onde år.

Snart skal livets aftenklokker

ringe solfaldstimen ind.

Sølvstænk i de gyldne lokker,

furer på din fine kind.

Lad os gråne sammen, du og jeg,

du er stadig ung for mig.

Skænk mig alderdommens stilhed,

skøn som vårens viltre leg.

Tak for gode som for onde år.

Sølvstænk i dit gyldne hår

lyser om din gyldne tinding.

Livet mod sin aften går.

 

 

 

Tell me Your Dream.

You had a dream, well I had one too.

I know mine’s best, ‘cause it was of you.

Come sweetheart, tell me. Now is the time.

You  tell me your dream, I’ll tell you  mine.

 

The Gipsy.

In a quiet caravan

there’s a lady they call The Gipsy.

She can look in the future

and drive away all your fears.

Everything will come right

if you only believe The Gipsy

She can tell at a glance

that your heart is so full of tears.

She looked in my hand and told me

my lover was always true,

But deep in my heart I know dear

4somebody else was kissing you.

So I go there again

‘cause I want to believe The Gipsy:

that my lover is true,

and will come back to me someday.

 

The Man I Love.

Someday he’ll come along the man I love.

And he’ll be big and strong, the man I love.

And when he comes my way,

I’ll do my best to make him stay.

He’ll look at me and smile, I’ll understand;

and in a little while he’ll take my hand.

And though it seems absurd,

I know we both won’t say a word.

May-be I shall meet him Sunday,

may-be monday, may-be not.

Still I’m sure to meet him someday.

May-be Tuesday will be my good news day.

He’ll build a little home, just meant for two,

from which I’ll never roam, who would, would you?

And so all else above, I’m waiting for the man I love.

 

The Sheik of Araby.

I’m the sheik of Araby,

your love belongs to me.

At night when you’re a sleep

into your tent I’ll creep.

The stars that shine above

will light our way to love.

You’ll rule this land with me

‘cause I’m the sheik of Araby

 

 

 

 

The World is Waiting for the Sunrise.

Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise.

Ev’ry rose is heavy with dew.

The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling.

And my heart is calling you.

 

This Love of Mine.

This love of mine goes on and on.

Tho’ life is empty since you have gone,

you’re always on my mind, tho’ out of sight.

It’s lonesome thru the day, and oh! the night

I cry my heart out, it’s bound to break.

Since nothing matters let it break.

I ask the sun and the moon, the stars thet shine

 

Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye,

Toot Toot Tootsie, don’t cry,

The choo choo train that takes me

away from you

no words can tell how sad it makes me.

Kiss me Tootsie, and then

do it over again.

Watch for the mail, I’ll never fail.

If you don’t get a letter,

then you’ll know I’m in jail.

Toot Toot Tootsie, don’t cry.

but Toot Toot Tootsie goodbye.

 

What a Wonderful World.

I see trees of green, red roses too.

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,

the bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

are also on the faces of people goin’ by.

I see friends shakin’ hands, saying: How do you do.

They’re really sayin’: I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.

They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know.

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself: What a wonderful world.

 

What Can I Say Dear.

What can I say dear after I said I’m sorry.

What can I do to prove it to you, I’m sorry

I didn’t mean to ever be mean to you.

If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t do like I do

I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don’t blame you.

Why should I take somebody like you an’ shame you.

I know that I made you cry, an I’m so sorry dear.

So what can I say dear after I said I’m sorry.

 

What’ll I do.

What’ll I do when you are far away

and I am blue, what will I do.

What will I do when I am wondering,

who’s kissing you, what’ll I do.

What’ll I do with just a photograph

to tell my troubles to.

When I’m alone with only dreams of you

that won’t come true, what’ll I do, what’ll I do.

 

 

When I Grow too Old to Dream

I’ll have you to remember.

When I grow too old to dream

your love will live in my heart.

So kiss me my sweet,

and so let us part.

And when I grow too old to dream

that kiss will live in my heart.

 

 

When my Dreamboat Comes Home

then  my dreams no more will roam.

I will meet you and greet you

hold you closely my own.

Moonlit waters will sing

of the tender love you bring.

We’ll be sweathearts forever

when  my dreamboat comes home.

 

When You’re Smiling.

When you’re smiling, when you’re smiling,

the whole world smiles with you.

When you’re laughing, when you’re laughing,

the sun comes shining through.

But when you’re crying, you bring out the rain.

So stop your sighing and be happy again.

And keep on smiling, keep on smiling.

And the whole world smiles with you.

 

When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver,

I will love you just the same.

I will only call you sweetheart

that will always be your name.

Through a garden filled with roses

down the sunset trail we’ll stray.

When your hair has turned to silver,

I will love you as today.

 

Whenever You’re Lonesome.

Whenever you’re lonesome, you just telephone me,

when you find you’re lonely and you want company.

If booze overtake you, I’ll never forsake you.

You know my heart will be waiting for you.

This world may not guide us from Frisco to Maine.

I’ll walk a million miles to see your sweet smile again.

Your kisses and your laughter, always running after.

So whenever you’re lonesome just telephone me.

 

Who’s Sorry Now.

Who’s sorry now, who’s sorry now

whose heart is achin’ for breaking each vow.

Who’s sad an’ blue, who’s crying too.

Just like I cried over you.

Right to the end, just like a friend,

I tried to warn you somehow.

You had your way, now you must pay.

I’m glad you’re sorry now.

 

Yarning.

Yarning just for you,

that’s all I do, my dear.

Learning why I’m blue,

I wish that you were near.

Smiles have turned to tears.

Days have turned to years.

While I’m yarning just for you.

I hope you’re yarning too.

 

Yes sir that’s my baby.

Who’s that coming down the street?

Who’s that looking so petite?

Who’s that coming down to meet me here?

Who’s that you know who I mean,

sweetest who you’ve ever seen.

I could tell her miles away from here.

Yes sir that’s my baby,

no sir don’t mean may-be,

yes sir that’s my baby now.

Yes ma’m we’ve decided,

no ma’m we don’t hide it,

yes ma’m you’re invited now.

By the way, by the way,

when we reach the preacher I’ll say:

Yes sir, that’s my baby,

no, sir don’t mean may-be,

yes sir, that’s my baby now.

 

 

You Made Me What I Am Today.

I hope you’re satisfied.

You dragged and dragged me down until

my soul began to die.

You’ve broken all the vows you made,

you fooled me from the start.

Although, you’re not true

may God bless you

from The curse of an achin’ heart.

 

You Rascal You.

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, You Rascal You.

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you rascal you.

When you’re dead in your grave,

no more women will you crave.

I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you rascal you.

 

I trust you in my home,

you wouldn’t leave my wife alone.

 

You’re Driving Me Crazy!

you! you’re driving me crazy!

What did I do? What did I do?

My tears for you make ev’rything hazy,

clouding the skies of blue. How true!

were the friends who were near me

to cheer me, believe me they knew.

But you! were the kind who would hurt me,

desert me, when I needed you! yes!

you ‘re driving me crazy!

What did I do to you?
