- Anniversary Song
Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed!
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said.
The world was in bloom. there were stars in the skies,
Except for the few that were there in your eyes.
Dear, as I held you close in my arms,
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms.
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low,
- Are You Lonesome Tonight
Эл Джолсон поёт американским солдатам в Корее, 1950. Вскоре его хватил сердечный приступ. Петь с одним лёгким вообще трудно. А родился он в 1886 г. под еврейским именем Аса Йолсон в России. Удивительная судьба у мужика, которому подражали Синатра и Кросби. А еще он сыграл в первом звуковом кино в США, причём играл еврейчика, который наперекор родителям лабает джаз))) а. черный
- Carolina in the Morning
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning
When a morning glory
Went around the door
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more
- I'm In Seventh Heaven
Birds in the trees
And a song on the breeze
Blue River, why are you blue
Light of the Moon
And the starlight in view
Must they bring sadness to you
- Im Sitting On Top Of The World
I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just rolling along, Just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, Just singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
- Is It True What They Say About Dixie
Is it true what they say about Dixie?
Does the sun really shine all the time?
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door?
Do folks keep eating possum
Till they can't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about Swanee?
Is a dream by that stream so sublime?
- Let Me Sing And I'm Happy
What care I who makes the laws of a nation?
Let those who will take care of it's right and wrongs
What care I who cares for the world's affairs?
As long as I can sing it's popular songs
Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing, I'm happy, happy
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hearts who loved in vain
- Liza
Moon shinin' on the river come along, my Liza
Breeze singin' through the treetops come along, my Liza
Somethin' mighty sweet I want to whisper sweet and low
That you ought to know, my Liza
I get lonesome, honey, when I'm alone so long
Don't make me wait, don't hesitate, come and hear my song
- My Mammy
Everything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But later, when you are further away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:
- Sonny Boy
Climb up on my knee Sonny Boy
Though you're only three Sonny Boy
You've no way of knowing
There's no way of showing
What you mean to me Sonny Boy.
When there are grey skies,
I don't mind the grey skies.
- Swanee
I've been away from you along time
I never thought I'd miss 'ya so
Somehow I feel, your love is real
Near you I wanna be.
The Birds are singing it is songtime
The banjos strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me to swanee you're calling
