SOME OF THESE DAYS

(Shelton Brooks)
« © '55 Jerry Vogel Music, ASCAP »
Some of these days you're gonna miss me honey
Some of these days you're gonna be so lonely
You'll miss my hugging miss my kissing too
You'll be so sorry when I'm away from you

Now you're gonna be lonely just for me only
Cause you know honey that you had your way
And when you leave me you know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your little honey some of these days

(Now you'll be lonely) yes you'll be lonely
(Just for me only) just for me only
(Cause you know honey) yes you know honey
(You had your way) yes you had your way

Cause when you leave me oh you know it's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your little honey some of these days
(You're gonna miss)
You're gonna miss your little honey some of these days
(Some of these days)

Baby face you've got the cutest little baby face
There's not another who can take your place

Uh well I need a shove because I'm in love with my pretty baby face

GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND

(Eddie Green)
« © '18 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP » »
A good man is hard to find aou always get the other kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look for him and find him fooling around some other gal
Then you rave you even pray to see him laying in his grave
So if your man is nice you better take my advice
Hug him in the morning kiss him every night
Give him plenty loving treat him right
Cause a good man now day's is hard to find

A good man is hard to find...
[ sax ] So if your man is nice...

JUST BECAUSE

(Bob Shelton - Joe Shelton - Sid Robin)
« © '56 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Well now just because you think you're so pretty
Just because you think you're so hot
Just because you think you've got
Something that nobody else has got

Though you make me spend all my money
You laugh and call me old Santa Cause
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through
With you just because just because
[ sax ] Yeah well now just because you think I'm so lonesome
Just because you think I'll be blue
Just because you think I'd be foolish
To stay around at home and wait for you

Though you made me drop all my boyfriends
You laugh and call me old Santa Cause
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through
With you just because just because

Though you make me spend all my money...

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

(Johnny Burke - Arthur Johnson)
« © '58 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
(Pennies from heaven for you and me)

Every 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 the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trad them for a package of sunshine and flowers

If you want the things you love you must have showers
(Shower after shower)
So when you hear it thunder don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
[ sax ] If you want the things you love...
(Pennies from heaven for you and me)

BALLIN' THAT JACK

(Jim Burris - Chris Smith)
« © '54 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Well you put your two knees close up tight
And then you swing them to the left you swing them to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
And then you twist around and twist around with all your might
Shake your loving arms way out in space
And then you do the Eagle Rock with the style and grace
Swing your foot way round then you bring it back
That's what I call ballin' the jack
[ sax ] Well you put your two knees close up tight...

ROCK-A-BYE YOUR BABY WITH A DIXIE MELODY

(Joe Young - Sam M. Lewis - Jean Schwartz)
« © '59 Mills Music, ASCAP / MPL Music, ASCAP / Warock Corp, ASCAP »
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
Just hang your cradle mammy mine right on that Mason Dixon Line
And swing it from Virginia to Tennessee with all the love that's in you
Weep no more my lady sing that song to me

Sing it soft and low just as though you had me on your knees
A million baby kisses I'll deliver the minute that you sing that Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with the Dixie melody
(Weep no more my lady sing that song again for me)

Sing it soft and low...

SIDE BY SIDE

(Harry Wood)
« © '27 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Oh we ain't got a barrel of money maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along singing a song side by side
Well don't know what's coming tomorrow mybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road sharing our load side by side

Oh honey through all kind of weather what if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted we'll be the same as we started
Just traveling along singing a song side by side
[ guitar ] Honey through all kind of weather...

BACK IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

(Al Johnson - Billy Rose - Dave Dreyer)
« © '27 Bourne Co, ASCAP / Larry Spier Inc, ASCAP »
(You can go to the east you go to the west
But you'll always come to where you started from)
The bird we think that are blue is waiting for you back in your own backyard
You see your castle in Spain through your window pane back in your own backyard

Oh you can go to the east go to the west but someday you'll come
Weary at heart back where you started from
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes back in your own backyard

(The bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you) back in your own backyard
(You see your castles in Spain through your window pane) back in your own backyard

Oh you can go the east...
(Happiness lies right under your eyes) back in your own backyard

ST. LOUIS BLUES

(W.C. Handy)
« © '14 Doctor Brass Music, BMI »
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Because my little loved baby he done left this town
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my bag and make my get away
Oh the St Louis woman with those diamond rings
She pulls her man around by the apron strings

If it wasn't for powder or that store-brought hair
That man of mine he wouldn't go nowhere nowhere
I got the St Louis Blues just as bluest I can be
I got a man with a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Oh St Louis baby look what you're doin' to me
[ sax ] If it wasn't for powder...
I'm going back back to St Louis going back back to St Louis
Going back back to St Louis going back back to St Louis
