As with most songs slight changes can be added to a song. For example, Frank Sinatra and ELLA Fitzzerald made slight changes and their lyrics sounded good. Lyricks to Blues In The Night Frank Sinatra's version My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants My mama done tol me, " Son a woman'll sweet talk And give ya the big eye but when the sweet talkin's done A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!"

Joe, wherever the four winds blow I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night My mama was right, there's blues in the night.

TV didn't start to get popular until around the 1948s and 49s. Frank Sinatra took over the Ratpact after we lost Bogart. Members of the Ratpack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. Sinatra had a definite style and warmth to his singing.

The song I Ain't Got Nobody was first recorded by Louis Prima in 1956, where it was paired in a medley with another old standard, "Just a Gigolo". there was the popular arrangement in a new, jive-and-jumping style, created by Sam Butera for Prima's 1950s Las Vegas stage show. The success of that act gained Prima a recording deal with Capitol Records, which aimed to capture on record the atmosphere of his shows. The first album, titled The Wildest! and released in November 1956. Opened with "Just a Gigolo and I Ain't Got Nobody", which then became Prima's signature number and helped relaunch his career. Butera is noted for his raucous playing style, his off-color humor, and the innuendo in his lyrics. The arrangement he made with Prima of Just a Gigolo and I Ain't Got Nobody, has been covered by David Lee Roth, Los Lobos, Brian Setzer, The Village People, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The Village People recorded a disco version of the "Just a Gigolo and I Ain't Got Nobody" medley for their 1978 album Macho Man.

"Cracklin’ Rosie" End of Contents By: Sam McPherson, AXS Contributor, November 29, 2014 Everyone knows Neil Diamond songs, and the music legend has been writing them for more than five decades. Much like Van Morrison, for example, it's a true challenge to try to narrow down his "ten best" songs when there are so many to choose from. Perhaps you first heard the man listening with your parents when you were young, or maybe it was at a sporting event where one of his classics is often played. Either way, most of us stop and listen, and even sing along, when we hear one of his classics. It's pretty much unavoidable behavior. So check out our list of the American icon's top songs and see if your favorites rank. Apologies in advance for inevitable leaving out one of your favorites; it couldn't be helped or avoided. 10. "Song Sung Blue" This 1972 track was Neil Diamond's second No. 1 hit, and it was nominated for two Grammy Awards. It's loved for its simplicity we all can connect to no matter what our mood. And it's light and airy melodies are bound to make anyone perk up. 9. "Cherry, Cherry" There's something in here the Romantics' lifted for the 1980s hit "What I Like About You" (as the video link notes)—no mater, it's hard not to start toe tapping when you hear this one, while breaking out in a wide smile. How do you not? The song was Diamond's first real hit, reaching No. 6 on the charts in Fall 1966. 8. "Solitary Man" In Spring 1966, Diamond debuted his first single, "Solitary Man"—and the world would never be the same. One of the appeals of this song is its timeless romanticism, which can be applied to either gender. Although the fact it was a male-centric composition makes it stand out from all the female-centric songs on the same topic. 7. "Shilo" We all had imaginary friends when we were young, and this song is Diamond's tribute to that childhood rite of passage, growing up and letting go of such things. It's still sort of a goosebumps-inducing experience to listen to the lyrics today, considering it was originally written and recorded in 1967. 6. "Sweet Caroline" Okay, some of you may demand this be higher, but it's right where it belongs. The song has become a random staple at sporting events, which is odd, but that phenomenon has spread Diamond around to previously unreached audiences, for sure. It's also a late-night, bar jukebox staple when everyone left in the bar will scream along with it. For song written in 1969 about President John F. Kennedy's daughter (allegedly), it's had some serious staying power. 5. "America" Diamond starred in The Jazz Singer, a 1980 film which was a remake of the Al Jolson classic from 1927, and this is the most memorable song from the soundtrack. It captures something about this country we all can identify with, and with Diamond's emotive vocalization, every listener connects with it regardless of ethnicity. 4. "Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon" Two things to note for yet another timeless Diamond classic: First, who hasn't found themselves in a relationship where everyone wants your significant other to break up with you? Second, the cover version of this song from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack in 1994 re-introduced it into the mainstream again and brought Diamond more praise for a 1967 composition most had forgotten; thanks, Quentin Tarantino. 3. "Heartlight" The most recent song on this list was actually inspired by the film E.T., believe it or not. But it has a romantic resonance for the 1980s that put Diamond right back in the middle of the pop music scene. It was his last No. 1 hit, actually, but it's worth of this high praise even if it lacks the snappy punch of all his other songs on this list. 2. "You Don’t Bring Me Flowers" This duet with Barbra Streisand is the ultimate, "our relationship is falling apart" song. Written in the late 1970s for a TV show that never took off, both singers, Diamond and Streisand, released versions of it. It reached No. 1 on the charts in December 1978, and it may be the most quotable of all Diamond songs on this list. 1. "Cracklin’ Rosie" This 1970 song was Diamond's first No. 1 hit, and it remains his best song ever, no doubts. Strangely, the song is about wine—not a woman. Still, it combines so many aspects of what makes Diamond's songs so memorable: fun, upbeat, happy, snappy and singable for all of us. Lyricks to Sweet Caroline Where it began, I can't begin to knowin' But then I know it's growing strong Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believed you'd come along.

He was nicknamed Stag Lee or Stack Lee, with a variety of explanations being given: he was given the nickname because he "went stag", meaning he was without friends; he took the nickname from a well-known riverboat captain called Stack Lee; or, according to John and Alan Lomax, he took the name from a riverboat owned by the Lee family of Memphis called the Stack Lee, which was known for its on-board prostitution.[2] He was well known locally as one of the Macks, a group of pimps who demanded attention through their flashy clothing and appearance. In addition to these activities, he was the captain of a black Four Hundred Club, a social club with a dubious reputation. On Christmas night in 1895, Shelton and his acquaintance William "Billy" Lyons were drinking in the Bill Curtis Saloon. Lyons was also a member of St. Louis' underworld, and may have been a political and business rival to Shelton. Eventually, the two men got into a dispute, during which Lyons took Shelton's Stetson hat. Subsequently, Shelton shot Lyons, recovered his hat, and left.[6] Lyons died of his injuries, and Shelton was charged, tried and convicted of the murder in 1897. He was pardoned in 1909, but returned to prison in 1911 for assault and robbery. He died in incarceration in 1912. The crime quickly entered into American folklore and became the subject of song as well as folktales and toasts. The song's title comes from Shelton's nickname—Stag Lee or Stack Lee. The name was quickly corrupted in the folk tradition; early versions were called "Stack-a-Lee" and "Stacker Lee"; "Stagolee" and "Stagger Lee" also became common. Other recorded variants include "Stackerlee", "Stack O'Lee", "Stackolee", "Stackalee", "Stagerlee", and "Stagalee". [Early versions A song called "Stack-a-Lee" was first mentioned in 1897, in the Kansas City Leavenworth Herald, as being performed by, "Prof. Charlie Lee, the piano thumper." The earliest versions were likely field hollers and other work songs performed by African-American laborers, and were well known along the lower Mississippi River by 1910. That year, musicologist John Lomax received a partial transcription of the song, and in 1911 two versions were published in the Journal of American Folklore by the sociologist and historian Howard W. Odum. The song was first recorded by, Waring's Pennsylvanians in 1923, and became a hit. Another version was recorded later that year by Frank Westphal & His Regal Novelty Orchestra, and Herb Wiedoeft and his band recorded the song in 1924.[13] Also in 1924, the first version with lyrics was recorded, as "Skeeg-a-Lee Blues", by Lovie Austin. Ma Rainey recorded the song the following year, with Louis Armstrong on cornet, and a version was recorded by Frank Hutchison in 1927. Before World War II, it was commonly known as "Stack O'Lee". W.C. Handy wrote, that this probably was a nickname for a tall person, comparing him to the tall smokestack of the large steamboat Robert E. Lee. By the time W.C. Handy wrote that explanation in the 1920s, "Stack O' Lee" was already familiar in United States popular culture, with recordings of the song made by such pop singers of the day as Cliff Edwards. The version by Mississippi John Hurt, recorded in 1928, is regarded as definitive.[10] In his version, as in all such pieces, there are many (sometimes anachronistic) variants on the lyrics. Several older versions give Billy's last name as "De Lyons" or "Deslile". Other notable pre-war versions were by Duke Ellington (1927), Cab Calloway (1931), and Woody Guthrie (1941).

Several of the sights on her trip inspired her, and they found their way into her poem, including the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the "White City" with its promise of the future contained within its gleaming white buildings; the wheat fields of America's heartland Kansas, through which her train was riding on July 16; and the majestic view of the Great Plains from high atop Pikes Peak. On the pinnacle of that mountain, the words of the poem started to come to her, and she wrote them down upon returning to her hotel room at the original Antlers Hotel. The poem was initially published two years later in The Congregationalist to commemorate the Fourth of July. It quickly caught the public's fancy. Amended versions were published in 1904 and 1911. The first known melody written for the song was sent in by Silas Pratt when the poem was published in The Congregationalist. By 1900, at least 75 different melodies had been written. A hymn tune composed in 1882 by Samuel A. Ward, the organist and choir director at Grace Church, Newark, was generally considered the best music as early as 1910 and is still the popular tune today. Just as Bates had been inspired to write her poem, Ward, too, was inspired. The tune came to him while he was on a ferryboat trip from Coney Island back to his home in New York City after a leisurely summer day and he immediately wrote it down. Supposedly, he was so anxious to capture the tune in his head, he asked fellow passenger friend Harry Martin for his shirt cuff to write the tune on. He composed the tune for the old hymn, "O Mother Dear, Jerusalem", retitling the work, "Materna". Ward's, music combined with, Bates's poem were first published together in 1910 and titled "America the Beautiful". Ward died in 1903, not knowing the national stature his music would attain. Bates was more fortunate, since the song's popularity was well established by the time of her death in 1929. At various times in the more than 100 years that have elapsed since the song was written, particularly during the John F. Kennedy administration, there have been efforts to give "America the Beautiful" legal status either as a national hymn or as a national anthem equal to, or in place of, "The Star-Spangled Banner", but so far this has not yet succeeded. Proponents prefer "America the Beautiful" for various reasons, saying it is easier to sing, more melodic, and more adaptable to new orchestrations while still remaining as easily recognizable as "The Star-Spangled Banner". Some prefer "America the Beautiful" over "The Star-Spangled Banner" due to the latter's war-oriented imagery. Others prefer "The Star-Spangled Banner" for the same reason. While that national dichotomy has stymied any effort at changing the tradition of the national anthem, "America the Beautiful" continues to be held in high esteem by a large number of Americans, and was even being considered before 1931, as a candidate to become the national anthem of the United States. This song was used as the background music of the television broadcast of the Tiangong-1 launch. The song is often included in songbooks in a wide variety of religious congregations in the United States.

Frank Sinatra recorded the song with Nelson Riddle during the sessions for The Concert Sinatra in February 1963, for a projected 45 single release. The 45 was not commercially issued however, but the song was later added as a bonus track to the enhanced 2012 CD release of The Concert Sinatra. In 1976, while the United States celebrated its bicentennial, a soulful version popularized by Ray Charles peaked at number 98 on the US R&B chart. Three different renditions of the song have entered the Hot Country Songs charts. The first was by Charlie Rich, which went to number 22 in 1976. A second, by Mickey Newbury, peaked at number 82 in 1980. An all-star version of "America the Beautiful" performed by country singers Trace Adkins, Sherrié Austin, Billy Dean, Vince Gill, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Toby Keith, Brenda Lee, Lonestar, Lyle Lovett, Lila McCann, Lorrie Morgan, Jamie O'Neal, The Oak Ridge Boys, Collin Raye, Kenny Rogers, Keith Urban and Phil Vassar reached number 58 in July 2001. The song re-entered the chart following the September 11 attacks. Popularity of the song increased greatly following the September 11 attacks; at some sporting events it was sung in addition to the traditional singing of the national anthem. During the first taping of the Late Show with David Letterman following the attacks, CBS newsman Dan Rather cried briefly as he quoted the fourth verse. For Super Bowl XLVIII, The Coca-Cola Company aired a multilingual version of the song, sung in several different languages. The commercial received some criticism on social media sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, and from some conservatives, such as Glenn Beck. Despite the controversies, Coca-Cola later reused the Super Bowl ad during Super Bowl LI, the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics and for patriotic holidays. [Idioms "From sea to shining sea", originally used in the charters of some of the English Colonies in North America, is an American idiom meaning "from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean" (or vice versa). Other songs that have used this phrase include the American patriotic song "God Bless the U.S.A." and Schoolhouse Rock's "Elbow Room". The phrase and the song are also the namesake of the Shining Sea Bikeway, a bike path in Bates's hometown of Falmouth, Massachusetts. The phrase is similar to the Latin phrase "A Mari Usque Ad Mare" ("From sea to sea"), which serves as the official motto of Canada. "Purple mountain majesties" refers to the shade of the Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which inspired Bates to write the poem. [Books Lynn Sherr's 2001 book America the Beautiful discusses the origins of the song and the backgrounds of its authors in depth. The book points out that the poem has the same meter as that of "Auld Lang Syne"; the songs can be sung interchangeably. Additionally, Sherr discusses the evolution of the lyrics, for instance, changes to the original third verse written by Bates. Melinda M. Ponder, in her 2017 biography on Katharine Lee Bates: From Sea to Shining Sea, draws heavily on Bates's diaries and letters to trace the history of the poem and its place in American culture.

I tried So I asked myself I said: 'John, where'd you go from here Then like a damned fool I turned around and looked in the mirror And there I saw, an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again So one more time, just to be sure I said: 'John, where in the hell do you go from here You know that when a nickel's worth of difference And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew That there I was seein', an old violin Soon to be put away, and never played again And just like that, it hit me That old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to music And soon, we'd give our life Lyrics to She Thinks I Still Care Sung by Johnny Paycheck Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I rang her number by mistake today She thinks I still care Just because I haunt the same old places Where the mem'ry of her lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care But if she's happy thinking I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer Oh, how could she ever be so foolish Where would she get such an idea Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her then went all to pieces She thinks I still care But if she's happy thinking I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer Oh, how could she ever be so foolish Oh, where would she get such an idea Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just because I saw her then went all to pieces She thinks I still care Yes, she thinks I still care Lyrics to Bridge Over Troubled Waters First sung by Simon and Garfunkel When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side Oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part Oh when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on, silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Lyrics to Peace in the Valley Elvis Presley first I know of that recorded it.

One of my favorite baritones, Bobby liked to jive up a song. Listening to him sing a song was always good listening. The song, Some of These Days, Darin gave it his famous great singing bounce. I added to the singing of the song, Some of These Days, Ella Fitzgerald and Sophie Tucker, so you could note the words of the song sung by them.

He rewrote it as a prayer for peace, and it was performed for the first time by Kate Smith on an Armistice Day broadcast (November 11, now known as Veterens Day) that year, 1938. Berlin also wrote the spoken introduction (now rarely heard but which Smith always used). At its heart, it’s a prayer for the well-being of our country. Especially in the politically and racially charged times in which we live, may God bless America. It truly belongs to all of us… The story behind Irving Berlin's "God Bless America", By Bill D Contents [From: [“I’d like to write a great peace song,” Irving Berlin told a journalist in 1938, End of Contents [From: performingsongwriter.com/god-bless-america/ [“I’d like to write a great peace song,” Irving Berlin told a journalist in 1938, “but it’s hard to do, because you have trouble dramatizing p As America’s most successful songwriter, the 50-year-old Berlin had already lived through one world war, and with the rise of Nazi Germany, he knew a second was brewing. He recalled, “I worked for a while on a song called ‘Thanks America,’ but I didn’t like it. I tried again with a song called ‘Let’s Talk About Liberty,’ but I didn’t get very far. It was too much like making a speech to music. It then occurred to me to reexamine an old song of mine, ‘God Bless Amer He recalled, “I worked for a while on a song called ‘Thanks America,’ but I didn’t like it. I tried again with a song called ‘Let’s Talk About Liberty,’ but I didn’t get very far. It was too much like making a speech to music. It then occurred to me to reexamine an old song of mine, ‘God Bless America.’” Berlin’s practice of “going to the trunk,” where he squirreled away every verse, chorus and half-finished idea he ever wrote, often got him out of songwriting jams. He’d come up with “God Bless America” in 1918, while serving in the Army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, N.Y. It was intended for a military revue called Yip Yip Yaphank. His musical secretary Harry Ruby remembered, “There were so many patriotic songs coming out at the time. Every songwriter was pouring them out. I said, ‘Geez, another one?’” Berlin decided Ruby was right, calling the song “just a little sticky.” He cut it from the score, stashing it away in his trunk. Two decades later, Berlin saw new hope in the old tune. “I had to make one or two changes in the lyrics, and they in turn led me to a slight change and improvement in the melody, one line in particular. The original ran: ‘Stand beside her and guide her to the right with a light from above.’ In 1918, the phrase ‘to the right’ had no political significance, as it has now. So for obvious reasons, I changed the phrase to ‘Through the night with a light from above.’” Pleased with the revamped song—he packed a lot into its compact five-line frame—Irving searched for the right singer to introduce it. Kate Smith was 200 pounds of wholesome country girl goodness, a vaudeville singer who’d entertained WWI troops when she was 8 years old and gone on to host her own CBS radio show, with millions of devoted listeners. On Nov. 11, 1938, Smith sang “God Bless America” as part of her Armistice Day broadcast (anniversary of the end of WWI). The song tapped into the national psyche, offering a kind of collective prayer for the unease over impending war. Within days, it was being hailed as the new national anthem. Sheet music flew off the shelves. Smith was booked for personal appearances, including major league baseball games and the 1939 World’s Fair. School bands played the song relentlessly. Without any hype or plugging, Berlin’s anthem became a sensation. In 1940, both the Republican and Democratic parties adopted the song as their theme. Realizing that it would look improper to collect royalties on a patriotic ode, Berlin established a trust, the God Bless America Fund, which distributed all proceeds to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America. The song wasn’t without its critics. Certain Democrats called the song jingoistic, questioning why God should bless America and no other country, and what about separation of church and state? Others griped about Berlin’s pedigree. As a Russian Jew who immigrated to the U.S. in 1893, why should he speak for America? A prominent pastor in New York, Edgar Franklin Romig, grabbed headlines by calling the song a “specious substitute for religion.” One songwriter who didn’t like Berlin’s anthem was Woody Guthrie. It’s said that he got so fed up with hearing Kate Smith on the radio, he wrote a rebuttal in “This Land Is Your Land.” In the original version of Guthrie’s classic, he painted pictures of a desolate, corrupt country, ending each verse with “God blessed America for you and me.” In the wake of 9/11, the song took on a new life, once again signalling renewed patriotism and pride. Celine Dion performed it on the TV special A Tribute to Heroes and her version climbed into the Top 40. As for Irving Berlin, he lived to the ripe old age of 101, passing away in 1989. Though his incredible legacy of songs ranges from the glitzy (“Putting On the Ritz”) to the sentimental (“Always”) to the seasonal (“White Christmas”), “God Bless America” remains one of his most personal achievements. As his daughter Mary Ellin Barrett said, “I came to understand that it wasn’t ‘God Bless America, land that we love.’ It was ‘God bless America, land that I love.’ It was an incredibly personal statement that my father was making, that anybody singing that song makes as they sing it. And I understood that that song was his ‘thank you’ to the country that had taken him in. It was the song of the immigrant boy who made good.” How Kate Smith first got the beloved God Bless America Kate was looking for a new song and went over to Irvings house. So Irving start looking through his collections, and they wern't finding anything that seemed to interest Kate. Finely Irvings pulled one out and just gave it to her. Kate went home practiced the song and debuted it that night on here show. The song was an instant success, and kept gainin notoriety. Today and going back when Kate popularized it it now has become a standard, and sung at countless ocasions.

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away. And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads Take me home now, country roads, Take me home now, country roads. Lyrics to Rocky Mountain High John Denver Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long But the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye Rocky mountain high (Colorado) He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept his memory Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky mountain high Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky mountain high It's Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky mountain high Rocky mountain high Rocky mountain high Rocky mountain high Rocky mountain high Rocky mountain high Lyricks to Leaving On A Jetplane John Denver Written by John Denver All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standin' here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin' It's early morn The taxi's waitin' He's blowin' his horn Already I'm so

About the times, I won't have to say Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back

Remember back in high school, my brothers and me Willie put his head through the door to find clarity You'd come home with bourbon breath, Jack in the air And when you broke my bones I told the school I fell down the stairs All I ever wanted was for you to be there for me All I ever needed was for you to be here for me This time is the last time you're gonna see us around This was your last chance to prove you wouldn't let me down So go on home, get going and get away from here All alone is how you're gonna spend the rest of your years No farmer's daughter anymore I ain't no farmer's daughter anymore No farmer's daughter anymore, mommy dear Lyrics to Me and Bobby McGee Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train I was feeling near as faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, And rode us all the way to New Orleans. I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues. Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine, We sang every song the driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now. And feeling good was easy laugh when he sang the blues, You know feeling good was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold. One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it, But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holding Bobby's body next to mine. Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah, And feeling good was easy laugh when he sang the blues, Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. Crystal Bowersox from this part on really jazzes the song up.

The melody had been published as the work of Venezuelan calypso composer Lionel Belasco on a song titled "L'Année Passée," which was in turn based on a folk song from Martinique.[2] The lyrics to "Rum and Coca-Cola" were written by Rupert Grant, another calypso musician from Trinidad who used the stage name Lord Invader.[3] The song became a local hit and was at the peak of its popularity when Amsterdam visited the island in September 1943 as part of a U.S.O. tour. Although he claimed never to have heard the song during the month he spent on the island, the lyrics to his version are clearly based on the Lord Invader version, with the music and chorus being virtually identical. However, Amsterdam's version strips the song of its social commentary. The Lord Invader version laments that U.S. soldiers are debauching local women who "saw that the Yankees treat them nice/and they give them a better price." Its final stanza describes a newlywed couple whose marriage is ruined when "the bride run away with a soldier lad/and the stupid husband went staring mad." The Amsterdam version also hints that women are prostituting themselves, preserving the Lord Invader chorus which says, "Both mother and daughter/Working for the Yankee dollar." Since the Yankee come to Trinidad They got the young girls all goin' mad Young girls say they treat 'em nice Make Trinidad like paradise The Andrews Sisters also seem to have given little thought to the meaning of the lyrics.[4] According to Patty Andrews, "We had a recording date, and the song was brought to us the night before the recording date. We hardly really knew it, and when we went in we had some extra time and we just threw it in, and that was the miracle of it. It was actually a faked arrangement. There was no written background, so we just kind of faked it."[5] In under ten minutes they made a record that sold seven million units and sat at number one on the Billboard magazine chart for seven weeks.[5][1] Maxine Andrews recalled, "The rhythm was what attracted the Andrews Sisters to 'Rum and Coca-Cola'. We never thought of the lyric. The lyric was there, it was cute, but we didn't think of what it meant; but at that time, nobody else would think of it either, because we weren't as morally open as we are today and so, a lot of stuff—really, no excuses—just went over our heads."[5] Some stations refused to play the song because it mentioned rum, and alcohol couldn't be advertised on the air.[5] In the Songs That Won The War Vol. 8 Swing Again, Yes Indeed! CD program notes, Edward Habib writes, "'Rum and Coca Cola' has naughty lyrics but not quite naughty enough to deny its hit status...During the forties, comedians as songwriters was the norm, Phil Silvers, Joey Bishop and Jackie Gleason all had a part in writing hit songs. While there were a number of records of 'Rum and Coca Cola', the Andrews Sisters' version was far and away the most popular." After the release of "Rum and Coca-Cola", Belasco and Lord Invader sued for copyright infringement of the song's music and lyrics, respectively. In 1948, after years of litigation, both plaintiffs won their cases, with Lord Invader receiving an award of $150,000 in owed royalties. However, Morey Amsterdam was allowed to retain copyright to the song.[2] Lord Invader also wrote a follow-up song Lyrics to Rum and Coca Cola Andrews Sisters If you ever go down Trinidad They make you feel so very glad Calypso sing and make up rhyme Guarantee you one real good fine time Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar Oh, beat it man, beat it Since the Yankee come to Trinidad They got the young girls all goin' mad Young girls say they treat 'em nice Make Trinidad like paradise Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar Oh, you vex me, you vex me From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle Native girls all dance and smile Help soldier celebrate his leave Make every day like New Year's Eve Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar It's a fact, man, it's a fact In old Trinidad, I also fear The situation is mighty queer Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon When she hear der Bingle croon Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar Out on Manzanella Beach G.I. romance with native peach All night long, make tropic love Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar It's a fact, man, it's a fact Rum and Coca-Cola Rum and Coca-Cola Workin' for the Yankee dollar Lyrics to Glenn Miller Songs Contents Lyrics to Little Brown Jug Lyrics to [Chattanooga Choo Choo End of Contents Lyrics to Little Brown Jug Me and my wife live all alone In a little log hut we're all our own; She loves gin and I love rum, And don't we have a lot of fun! Chorus: Ha, ha, ha, you and me, Little brown jug, don't I love thee! Ha, ha, ha, you and me, Little brown jug, don't I love thee! When I go toiling on the farm I take the little jug under my arm; Place it under a shady tree, Little brown jug, 'tis you and me. ' 'Tis you that makes me friends and foes, 'Tis you that makes me wear old clothes; But, seeing you're so near my nose, Tip her up and down she goes. If all the folks in Adam's race Were gathered together in one place, Then I'd prepare to she'd a tear (I'd let them go without a tear) Before I'd part from you, my dear. If I'd a cow that gave such milk, I'd dress her in the finest silk; Feed her up on oats and hay, And milk her twenty times a day. I bought a cow from Farmer Jones, And she was nothing but skin and bones; I fed her up as fine as silk, She jumped the fence and strained her milk. And when I die don't bury me at all, Just pickle my bones in alcohol; I'ut a bottle o' booze at my head and feet And then I know that I will keep. The rose is red, my nose is too, The violets blue and so are you; And yet, I guess, before I stop, We'd better take another drop Lyrics to [Chattanooga Choo Choo Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?

Lyrics to Shine On Harvest Moon Kate Smith The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see, For the moon refused to shine. Couple sitting underneath a willow tree, For love they did pine, Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness So she said, "I guess I'll go." Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky, Told the moon his little tale of woe: "oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky. I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July Snowtime ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon, So shine on, shine on harvest moon - for me and my gal !" I can't see why a boy should sigh, When by his side is the girl he loves so true, All he has to say is: "won't you be my bride, For I love you, Why should I be telling you this secret, When I know that you can guess?," Harvest moon will smile, Shine on all the while, If the little girl should answer "yes." "oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky. I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July Snowtime ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon So shine on, shine on harvest moon - for me and my gal !" ?

Lyrics to Battle hem of the Republic End of Contents [About Originally, a camp-meeting hymn, "Oh brothers, will you meet us on Canaan's happy shore?", it evolved into John Brown's Body. Then in 1861 Julia Ward Howe wife of a government official, wrote a poem for Atlantic Monthly for five dollars. The magazine called it, Battle Hymn of the Republic. The music may be by William Steffe. Lyrics to Battle hem of the Republic Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage Where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watchfires Of a hundred circling camps They have builded Him an altar In the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence By the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet That shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men Before His judgement seat; Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; Be jubilant, my feet; Our God is marching on. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom That transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, Let us die to make men free; While God is marching on. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Lyricks to When You and I Were Young, Maggie I wandered today to the hill, Maggie, To watch the scene below - The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie, As we used to, long ago. The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie, Where first the daisies sprung; The creaking old mill is still, Maggie, Since you and I were young. Chorus And now we are aged and grey, Maggie, And the trials of life nearly done, Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie, When you and I were young. A city so silent and lone, Maggie, Where the young, and the gay, and the best, In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie, Have each found a place of rest, Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie, And join in the songs that we sung; For we sang as lovely as they, Maggie, When you and I were young. Chorus They say that I'm feeble with age, Maggie, My steps are less sprightly than then, My face is a well-written page, Maggie, And time alone was the pen. They say we are aged and grey, Maggie, As sprays by the white breakers flung, But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie, When you and I were young.

Lyricks to Irene goodnight Lyricks to Irene goodnight, another version Lyricks to Irene goodnight with cords End of Contents written by George Vaughn Lead Belly was singing a version of Irene goodnight as early as 1908, From, Goodnight, Irene - Wikipedia The specific origins of "Irene" are unclear. Lead Belly was singing a version of the song as early as 1908, which he claimed to have learned from his uncles Terell and Bob. An 1892 song by Gussie L. Davis has several lyrical and structural similarities to the latter song; a copy of the sheet music is available from the Library of Congress. Some evidence suggests the 1892 song was itself based on an even earlier song which has not survived. Regardless of where he first heard it, by the 1930s Lead Belly had made the song his own, modifying the rhythm and rewriting most of the verses. Lead Belly continued performing the song during his various prison terms, and it was while incarcerated at the Louisiana State Penitentiary that he encountered musicologists John and Alan Lomax who would go on to record hours of Lead Belly's performances. A few months prior to his release in 1934, Lead Belly recorded a number of his songs, including "Irene", for the Library of Congress. An extended version of the song that includes *narratives connecting the verses appears in Negro Folk Songs as Sung by Lead Belly. "Irene" remained a staple of Lead Belly's performances throughout the 1930s and '40s. However, despite popularity within the New York blues community, the song was never commercially successful during his lifetime. In 2002, Lead Belly's 1936 Library of Congress recording received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 1950, the American folk band, The Weavers recorded a version of "Goodnight Irene". One year after Lead Belly's death The single first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on June 30, 1950 and lasted 25 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1 for 13 weeks. Although generally faithful, the Weavers chose to omit some of Lead Belly's more controversial lyrics, leading Time magazine to label it a "dehydrated" and "prettied up" version of the original. Due to the recording's popularity, however, The Weavers' lyrics are the ones generally used today. Billboard ranked this version as the number 1 song of 1950. The Weavers' enormous success inspired many other artists to release their own versions of the song, many of which were themselves commercially successful across several genres. Frank Sinatra's cover, released only a month after The Weavers', lasted nine weeks on the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on July 10, peaking at #5. Later that same year, Ernest Tubb and Red Foley had a #1 country music record with the song, and the Alexander Brothers, Dennis Day and Jo Stafford released versions which made the Best Seller chart, peaking at #26, #17 and #9 respectively. Moon Mullican had a number 5 country hit with it in 1950, and a version by Paul Gayten and his Orchestra reached number 6 on the Billboard R&B chart in the same year. On the Cash Box chart, where all available versions were combined in the standings, the song reached a peak position of #1 on September 2, 1950, and lasted at #1 for Lyricks to Irene goodnight first recorded in 1933 or ’34 Irene good night, Irene good night, Good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams. Last Saturday night I got married, Me and my wife settled down, Now me and my wife we are parted, I think I’ll go out on the town. Sometimes I live in the country, Sometimes I live in town, Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown.

The song is believed to have been composed by slaves in the first half of the 19th century. Some references suggest that it was copyrighted by Jay Roberts in 1865. In 1882, the song was published in Jubilee Songs by M. G. Slayton and in A Collection of Revival Hymns and Plantation Melodies by Marshall W. Taylor. The first recorded version was by Harrod's Jubilee Singers, on Paramount Records Number 12116 in 1922, though some sources[who?] suggest 1924. The Online 78 Discography entry for this record credits Jay Roberts as the author. Later recordings include those by Paul Robeson[4] (1925), Mahalia Jackson[4] (1958), Clara Ward, Laurie London, Hugh Laurie (2011) and Elvis Presley (1961) among many others. In 1930, Marshall Bartholomew created his arrangement of the song. Composer and conductor Morton Gould used the song as the basis for his 1941 composition for concert band, Jericho Rhapsody Ralph Flanagan adapted it under the title "Joshua". Ralph Flanagan and His Orchestra recorded the spiritual in New York City on March 1, 1950. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3724 (in USA)[7] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog numbers B 9938 and IP 604. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961) Early published versions include some parts in dialect, such as "fit" for "fought". The lyrics allude to the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho, in which Joshua led the Israelites against Canaan (Joshua 6:15-21).[1] However, like those of many other spirituals, the words may also be alluding to eventual escape from slavery – in the case of this song, "And the walls came tumblin' down."[8][9] The lively melody and rhythm also provided energy and inspiration.[10] Critic Robert Cummings wrote: "The jaunty, spirited theme hardly sounds like the product of the pre-Civil War era, and would not sound out of place in a ragtime or even jazz musical from the early 20th century. The closing portion of the tune, sung to the words quoted above, is its most memorable portion: the notes plunge emphatically and impart a glorious sense of collapse, of triumph."

[Star Spangled Banner Contents How the Star Spangled Banner became our National Anthem Lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, note, there's 4 verses, we normally sing only the first verse. End of Contents How the Star Spangled Banner became our National Anthem History of "The Star Spangled Banner" The words of "The Star Spangled Banner" were first written on September 14, 1814 by Francis Scott Key, as a poem titled, "The Defence of Fort McHenry." Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and an amateur poet, was being detained on a British warship during the British naval bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. When the bombardment subsided and Key, witnessed that Fort McHenry was still flying its huge American flag, he began writing his poem. Historical Note: This flag was truly huge! It measured 42 by 30 feet! Key recommended that his poem be sung as a song to the popular British tune, "To Anacreon in Heaven.". "To Anacreon in Heaven.", was a popular song tune, sung in pubs, (tavern), in England. It soon became known as "The Star Spangled Banner." "The Star Spangled Banner" was published in a number of newspapers at the time, but by the Civil War it had become one of the most popular patriotic songs of the United States. By the late 19th century, "The Star Spangled Banner" had become the official song of the U.S. military, but it wasn't until 1931 that the United States made "The Star Spangled Banner" the official national anthem of the country. Interestingly, it was Robert L. Ripley's Believe It or Not that spurred the interest of the American people to demand "The Star Spangled Banner" to become the official national anthem. On November 3, 1929, Ripley ran a panel in his syndicated cartoon, stating that "Believe It or Not, America has no national anthem." Americans were shocked and wrote five million letters to Congress demanding Congress proclaim a national anthem. Lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, note, there's 4 verses, we normally sing only the first verse. Contents First verse Second verse Third verse Forth verse End of Contents First verse O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Second verse On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Third verse And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Forth verse O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation. Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave [Lyrics to God Bless America Contents Spoken Introduction: Verse End of Contents Spoken Introduction: "While the storm clouds gather far across the sea Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free Let us all be grateful for a land so fair As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

Having become a jazz standard, it was played (usually as an instrumental) by such greats as Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Errol Garner, Dizzy Gillespie, and Count Basie. Frankie Laine had a hit with his recording, and the song also was recorded by other leading vocalists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. Arguably the best known arrangement is found in the 1945 record by Tommy Dorsey and the Sentimentaists. The children's group Sharon Lois and Bram recorded a version for their Sing A to Z recording. Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt recorded their well-known version on their Sonny Side Up album.

In 1899, she was 22 or 23 years old and [THE SONG [THE AFTERMATH End of Contents [From: mental floss.com mentalfloss.com/article/78308/story-behind-frankie-and-johnny [Frankie Baker lived in a rooming house on Targee Street in St. Louis. In 1899, she was 22 or 23 years old and had a 17-year-old boyfriend named Allen Britt, who was sometimes called Albert (“Al Britt”). Several sources identify Francis, also known as Frankie, as a prostitute and Allen Britt as her pimp. Britt was a ragtime piano player, and by most accounts, an attractive young man. Although he and Frankie had been an item for quite some time, he was seen keeping company with a prostitute named Alice Pryor. On October 14, Frankie caught them together at a club where Britt was playing piano. Baker confronted Britt, there was an argument, and Baker went back home alone, fuming. Early the next morning, Allen went up to her room. That’s when Frankie Baker shot Britt with a .38, wounding him in the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital and died four days later, but not before he identified Baker as his killer. She was promptly arrested. At Baker’s trial in November 1899, she testified that Britt had beaten her before, and had pulled a knife on her just before she shot him. Judge Willis Henry Clark ruled that she shot Britt in self-defense and declared her not guilty of murder. [THE SONG The early versions of the song were called “Frankie and Allen”, or “Frankie and Albert.” According to eyewitness testimony in Baker’s lawsuit decades later, a St. Louis songwriter named Bill Dooley was performing the song “Frankie Killed Allen” just weeks after the shooting. The song first appeared in sheet music in 1904 under the name "He Done Me Wrong,” credited to Hughie Cannon. That version had the same tune but different lyrics from the Dooley version. Frank and Bert Leighton published the same tune, this time named “Frankie and Johnny,” in 1912, with "Albert" changed to "Johnny" because it flowed better. Likewise, Alice Pryor’s name was changed to Nelly Bly. Nellie Bly was a well-known journalist in New York whose only connection to the case was that her name was easy to rhyme. Over 250 versions of “Frankie and Johnny” have been recorded, with widely varying lyrics. In some, Frankie ends up being executed for her crime. In a few, Johnny (or Allen, or Albert) survives the shooting. [THE AFTERMATH Francis Baker moved away from Saint. Louis in 1901 to escape the notoriety the song brought her, first to Omaha, then to Portland. But with several plays, movies, and a ballet written about the murder, and the many versions of the song, she was forever branded as the woman who shot “Johnny.” Some people shunned her for it, others asked for her autograph. A few thought she was either greedy or delusional to think the song was about her. At any rate, Frankie Baker never profited from the song. Baker sued film companies more than once, over the 1933 Mae West film She Done Him Wrong (in which West sings the song) and the 1936 movie Frankie and Johnnie. She complained that the facts of her story were wrong. Music historian Sigmund Spaeth had previously written about the song and linked it to the St. Louis shooting, but testified in the second lawsuit that he had since traced the song back to the Civil War. Spaeth was paid $2000 for his testimony. Juries weren't convinced the song, and the two movies, were about her. Baker lost the lawsuits, returned to her home in Portland, and died in a mental institution in 1952. [Frankie and Johnny (song) Wikipedia Contents [story [In 1899, popular St Louis balladeer Bill Dooley composed "Frankie Killed Allen" shortly after the Baker murder [The song has also been linked to Frances "Frankie" Stewart Silver, convicted in 1832 of murdering her husband [Another variant of the melody, with words and music credited to Frank and Bert Leighton, appeared in 1908 [One version [The 1912 "Frankie and Johnny" by the Leighton Brothers and Ren Shields [Recordings End of Contents [story The song was inspired by one or more actual murders. One of these took place in an apartment building located at 212 Targee Street in St. Louis, Missouri. at 2:00 on the morning of October 15, 1899. Frankie Baker, 1876 1952), a 22-year-old woman, shot her 17-year-old lover Allen (also known as "Albert") Britt in the abdomen. Britt had just returned from a cakewalk at a local dance hall, where he and another woman, Nelly Bly (also known as "Alice Pryor" and no relation to the pioneering reporter who adopted the pseudonym Nellie Bly), had won a prize in a slow-dancing contest. Britt died of his wounds four days later at the City Hospital. On trial, Baker claimed that Britt had attacked her with a knife and that she acted in self-defense; she was acquitted and died in a Portland, Oregon, mental institution in 1952. [In 1899, popular St Louis balladeer, Bill Dooley composed, "Frankie Killed Allen" shortly after the Baker murder case. The first published version of the music to "Frankie and Johnny" appeared in 1904, credited to and copyrighted by Hughie Cannon, the composer of "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey"; the piece, a variant version of whose melody is sung today, was titled "He Done Me Wrong" and subtitled "Death of Bill Bailey." [The song has also been linked to Frances "Frankie" Stewart Silver, convicted in 1832 of murdering her husband Charles Silver in Burke County, North Carolina. Unlike Frankie Baker, Silver was executed. [Another variant of the melody, with words and music credited to Frank and Bert Leighton, appeared in 1908 under the title "Bill You Done Me Wrong;" this song was republished in 1912 as "Frankie and Johnny," this time with the words that appear in modern folk variations: [One version Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts They had a quarrel one day Johnny he vowed that he would leave her Said he was going away He's never coming home Also: Frankie took aim with her forty-four Three times with a rooty-toot-toot [The 1912 "Frankie and Johnny" by the Leighton Brothers and Ren Shields also identifies "Nellie Bly" as the new girl to whom Johnny has given his heart. What has come to be the traditional version of the melody was also published in 1912, as the verse to the song "You're My Baby," with music is attributed to Nat. D. Ayer. The familiar "Frankie and Johnny were lovers" lyrics first appeared (as "Frankie and Albert") in On the Trail of Negro Folksongs by Dorothy Scarborough, published in 1925; a similar version with the "Frankie and Johnny" names appeared in 1927 in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag. Several students of folk music have asserted that the song long predates the earliest published versions; according to Leonard Feather in his Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz it was sung at the Siege of Vicksburg (1863) during the American Civil War and Sandburg said it was widespread before 1888, while John Jacob Niles reported that it emerged before 1830. The fact, however, that the familiar version does not appear in print before 1925 is "strange indeed for such an allegedly old and well-known song," according to music historian James J. Fuld, who suggests that it "is not so ancient as some of the folk-song writers would have one believe." [Recordings At least 256 different recordings of "Frankie and Johnny" have been made since the early 20th century. Singers include Lead Belly, Mississippi John Hurt, Jimmie Rodgers, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Roscoe Holcomb, Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Frank Crumit, Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Pete Seeger, Mississippi Joe Callicott, Charlie Patton, Taj Mahal, Charlie Poole, Sam Cooke, Lena Horne, Lonnie Donegan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Fats Waller, Van Morrison, Michael Bloomfield, Brook Benton, Lindsay Lohan, Chris Smither, Jack Johnson, Burl Ives, Sammy Davis, Jr., Anika Noni Rose, and Stevie Wonder. A 1966 recording by Elvis Presley became a gold record as the title song of a Presley movie. The earliest country recording of a Frankie song is Ernest Thompson's 1924 Columbia recording of "Frankie Baker", which is listed in Tony Russell's Country Music Records A Discography, 1921-1942, Oxford University Press, 2004, ISBN 978-0195366211. Thompson was a blind street singer from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As a jazz standard it has also been recorded by numerous bands and instrumentalists including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Bunny Berigan, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman. Champion Jack Dupree set his version in New Orleans, retitling it "Rampart and Dumaine." Ace Cannon recorded an instrumental version for his 1994 album Entertainer. Lyrics to The Saint Louie Blues, modified here Written by, WILLIAM C HANDY W C HANDY I hate to see that evening sun go down, Sence my baby done left this town. Feelling tomorrow, like I feel today, Feelling tomorrow, like I feel today, I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway. Oh, that Saint.

Notes and lyricks on Auld Lang Syne Contents Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians The song, , was derives from a 1788 Scots poem by Robert Burns; now set to the tune of a traditional folk Burns' original Scots verse Lyric to auld lang syne English translation My Lyricks End of Contents Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians Guy Lombardo played the violin, 3 of his brothers were in the band, one time one brother got mad at the other and he hit the brother over the head with his horn. Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians played Auld Lang Syne every New Years eve at the stroke of midnight. the huge crowds gathered in Times Square to shout and holler with Glee, as they welcomed in the new year, in the 1920s and 30s and after. His Orchestra went on playing at Times Square every New Years eve, but I don't know when that ceased. as the years went by this ritual seemed to vanish away as Guy Lombardo wasn't around any more, Now in this present time 2021, there seems to be a revival to hear Auld Lang Syne played again by Guy Lombardo, but on record, it sounds more real. The song, , was derives from a 1788 Scots poem by Robert Burns; now set to the tune of a traditional folk Burns never intended his work to act as a farewell to the old year, it was a piece which partially reproduces, partially originally pens an older folk tune. He originally sent the piece to the Scots Musical Museum with a note: "The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man." The phrase "for auld lang syne" essentially boils down to "for (the sake of) old times". It's a work which essentially calls for the preservation of our oldest, dearest friendships; perhaps observed in the reflective quality of New Year's Eve itself. A time when people come together to recall past joys and sorrows, specifically those spent in each other's company. Burns' original Scots verse Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? CHORUS: For auld lang syne, my jo, for auld lang syne, we’ll take' a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne. nd surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup! and surely I’ll be mine!
