St. Louis Blues

William Handy

© Handy Bros Music, ASCAP

I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
Cause my baby got and left this town
If I feel tomorrow like I feel today

Feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway

I went to the Gypsy to get my fortune told
Yes I went to the Gypsy to get my fortune told
I asked the Gypsy what does the future hold

Gypsy told me don't you wear no black
Hmm the Gypsy told me don't you wear no black no black
Go to St Louis and you can win her back

St Louis woman with her diamond rings
Pulls this man around by her apron strings
If it wasn't for powder and for store bought hair
That gal I love wouldn't have gone nowhere nowhere

I got the St Louis Blues just as blue as I can be
Cause that gal's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me

I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint and his rye
I love that gal yes I love that gal
Yes I love that gal until the day I die

I've Got You Under My Skin

Cole Porter

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair never could go so well
But why should I try to resist when darling I know so well
I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might for the sake of having you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night and repeats and repeats in my ear

Don't you know little fool you never can win
Use your mentality wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you mhm I've got you
I've got you under my skin

Mister you may have traveled near or far
But you haven't seen the country till you've seen the country by car
Mister may I recommend a royal route
It starts in Illinois let me tell you boy

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Now you go through St louis Joplin Missouri
And Oklahoma City is a mighty purdy
You'll see Amarillo Gallup New Mexico
Flagstaff Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman Barstow San Bernardino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

Springfield Illinois Springfield Missouri too
Seven states count 'em seven spread out in front of you
[ instrumental ]
You'll like the aroma of Tulsa Oklahoma
Albuquerque and Tucumcari make New Mexico extraordinary
You'll wanna own a piece of Arizona
Needles Essex Aamboy Azusa
No one in sunny Cal is a loser

So get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
If any Joe tells you to go some other way say nix
Get your kicks on Route 66

Dear Hearts And Gentle People

Bob Hilliard - Sammy Fain

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my hometown
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down

They read the good book from Friday to Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dreamhouse I'll build there one day
With picket fence and rambling rose

I feel so welcome each time that I return
If my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my hometown
[ instrumental ]
I love those people
[ instrumental ]
I love those dear hearts and gentle people...
They read the good book from Friday to Monday...
[ instrumental ]
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who shout a friendly hi when they go passin' by
Who live and love in my home town
[ instrumental ]
Ah these are my kinda people

Mood Indigo

Irving Mills - Barney Bigard - Duke Ellington

© Mills Music, ASCAP

You ain't been blue no no no
You ain't been blue till you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh go long blue

Always get that mood indigo since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin' when lights are low I'm so lonesome I could cry
Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a fool who's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo I could lay me down and die
[ instrumental ]
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh go long blue

Donkey Serenade

George Forrest - Robert Wright - Herbert Stothart - Rudolf Friml

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

There's a song in the air but the fair senorita
Doesn't seem to care for the song in the air

So I'll sing to my mule if you're sure she won't think
That I'm just a fool serenading a mule

Amigo mio does she not have a dainty bray
She listens carefully to each little word we play
La bella Senorita si si mi muchachito
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way

But try as she may in her voice there's a flaw
And all that my lady can say
[ instrumental ]
There's a light in her eye tough she may try to hide it
She cannot deny there's a light in her eye

Oh the charm of her smile so beguiles all who see her
That they'd ride a mile for the charm of her smile

Amigo mio is she listenin' to my song
No no mi muchachito how could you be so wrong
La bella senorita si si la senorita
If she knew all the words well maybe she'd sing along

Her face is a dream like an angel I saw
But all that my darlin' can scream
[ instrumental ]
Senorita donkey sita not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my Chiquita you're the one for me
You're the one for me

To Know You Is To Love You

Allan Roberts - Robert Allen

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

To know you is to love you
Cause I know you are such a sweetheart
That when you walk down the street
Everyone's heart just naturally skips a beat

The others who have met you
Better start in to forget you
Because to know you is to love you so
It's time for everyone you know to know you love me

Were you the sun it would be twice as sunny
Were you a bee there would be sweeter honey
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street
You're such a bundle of me oh my
And that's the reason when you go by
Each heart naturally skips a beat

Dear the others
(Were you the spring you would be twice as springy)
Who have met you
(Were you a vine you would be twice as clingy)
Better start in
(Were you the moon everyone would be spoonin')
To forget you
(Every night would be mighty sweet)
Because to know you is to love you so
It's time for everyone you know
To know you love me

Because to know you is to love you so
It's time for everyone you know
To know you everyone should know you
Know yes know you love me

You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

Bob Russell - John Brooks

© Jewel Music, ASCAP

You came a long way from St Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen the flashy foreign cars
That were parked out in front of your fancy address

You came a long way from St Louis
You broke a lot of hearts between
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
Who were doin' all right till you came on the scene

You blew in from the middle west and certainly impressed
The population here abouts
Well baby I got news for you I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St Louis
But baby you still got a long way to go

My how you come up hmm you really come on

Hey I'll have your address
St Louis woman you're a St Louis doll

You blew in from the middle west and certainly impressed...
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside...

You left St Louis far behind
Keep this little thought in mind
You still got a long way to go

Larry Stock - Dominick Belline

© Roncom Music, ASCAP

Honey honey bless your heart
You're the honey that I love so well
I'd die for you if you'd only be true
You're the honey that I love so well

Moon shinin' bright up in the sky
Looks down on me and I know why
Even the stars up in the blue
Seem to be shinin' for no one but you
[ instrumental ]
Honey honey bless your heart...

Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella (On A Rainy Day)

Irving Kahal - Sammy Fain - Francis Wheeler

Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy rainy day
And if your sweetie cries just tell her that a smile will always pay
Whenever skies are gray don't you worry or fret
A smile will bring the sunshine and you'll never get wet
So let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy rainy day
[ instrumental ]
Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy rainy day...

Just let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy rainy day
A rainy rainy day on a rainy rainy day

Linda

Jack Lawrence

Linda Linda
Morning noon and night I find
Linda's always on my mind

When I go to sleep I never count sheep
I count all the charms about Linda
Lately it seems in all of my dreams
I walk with my arms about Linda

But what good does it do me
For Linda doesn't know I exist
Can't help feelin' gloomy
Think of all the lovin' I've missed

We pass on the street my heart skips a beat
I say to myself hello Linda
If only she'd smile I'd stop for a while
Then I would get to know Linda

But miracles still happen
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break I'll make Linda
Someday I'll betcha I'm gonna getcha
[ instrumental ]
Oh Linda Linda
[ instrumental ]
My Linda Linda
[ instrumental ]
We pass on the street my heart skips a beat...
But miracles still happen...

Begin The Beguine

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back the night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory evergreen

I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
Even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine

To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when a tune clutches my heart
And there we are swearing the love forever
And promising never never to part

What moments divine what rapture serene
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
Now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean

Don't let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an amber
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine

Oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more darling I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
When they begin the beguine
