Honey take a look at me It's the last your'e gonna get to see Goodbye I'm going, going, gone Better get your black coat out Tell your friends we're on the out-and-out Because I'm going, going, gone Gonna take a trip I never took before Don't know where I'll land Better get my hat and show me to the door Honey, here's my hand, God bless you Gonna take my dog with me He's the only friend I have, you see Because I'm going, going, gone

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone Cause our friendship ceases from now on And If you can't say anything real nice Don't talk at all, that's my advice You go your way I'll go mine It's best that we do Here's a little kiss I hope that this brings lots of luck to you Makes no difference how you carry on Just please don't talk about me when I'm gone

I hope you're comin’ back to New Orleans You know it really is that land of dreams There’s no other city like New Orleans I knew that I just couldn’t stay away So I came back and now I’m home to stay And rebuild my life in New Orleans Stormy weather may come and go Mother Nature may put on her show Still in my mind there’s nowhere else to go So baby won’t you please come home To New Orleans where they still say hello To the music and the culture and all the people that you know There’s just nothing more than New Orleans Stormy weather may come and go Mother Nature may put on her show Still in my mind there’s nowhere else to go So baby won’t you please come home New Orleans is where I want to stay Where I can play my music every night and day There’s just nothing more than New Orleans

Sugar 03:30
Oh my sugar, I call my baby my sugar I never maybe my sugar My sugar baby so fine, so confectionary Funny, she never asks for my money All I can give her is honey That she can get anytime I'd take a million trips to her lips If I were a bee I know she's he's sweeter than any candy tastes to me Oh my sugar, I'd never cheat on my sugar I'm so sweet on my sugar My sugar baby so fine

All that meat and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Here I'm waitin', palpitatin' For all that meat and no potatoes All that meat and no potatoes All that meat to the alligators Here I’m waiting, salivatin’ For all that meat and no potatoes I don't think that peas are bad. To me most anything goes. I look in the pot, baby I'm fit to fight But, woman, you know that mess ain't right All that meat and no potatoes All that meat for the alligators Hold me steady, I am ready For all that meat and no potatoes All that meat and no potatoes All that meat for the alligators Here I'm waitin', palpitatin' For all that meat and no potatoes All that meat and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Hold me steady, I am ready For all that meat and no potatoes
7.
Your eyes are 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 you know I'm on your mind each place you go I can't believe that you're in love with me I have always placed you high 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
8.
Keepin' out of mischief now Really am in love, and how! I'm through playing with fire say It's you whom I desire All the world can plainly see You're the only one for me I have told them in advance They can't break up our romance Living up to every vow I'm keepin' out of mischief now!

Sugar Blues 04:38
Oh the sugar blues Everybody's talking 'bout those sugar blues The whole town is singing My sweet woman as sweet as can be But her doggone sugar's gone sour on me I'm so unhappy, I'm so sad I wanna lay down and die But I'm so confused, because I have those blues I've got those sugar blues, don't you hear me? I've got those old sugar blues
10.
I got the words I got the tune I've been rehearsing under the moon But I got nobody to hear my song So I'm hummin' to myself I got the place I've got the time I've got a lot of love words that rhyme But I got nobody to hear my song So I'm hummin' to myself mmm mmm I guess it just had to be mmm mmm Won't somebody listen to me I got the words I got the tune I've been rehearsing under the moon But I got nobody to hear my song So I'm hummin' to myself
11.
Someday sweetheart You may be sorry For what you've done To my poor heart You may regret Those vows that you've broken Those things you said That made us drift apart You're happy now And you can't see how Those weary blues Will ever come to you But as you sow So you must reap, dear And what you reap may make you weep Someday, sweetheart!

I'll be down to get you in a taxi, baby Be ready 'bout half past eight Come on baby, don't be late I wanna be there when the Vipers start swingin' I'll see you when I get there, honey We'll do the two-step and have a ball We gonna dance off our shoes When the band plays the 'Jelly Roll Blues' Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball I'll be down to get you in a taxi, baby Be ready 'bout half past eight Come on honey, don't be late I wanna be there when these cats start swingin' I'll see you when I get there, honey We gonna do the two-step and have a ball I wanna dance off my shoes When the band plays the 'Jelly Roll Blues' Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

Way down yonder in New Orleans In that land of dreamy scenes There is a Garden Of Eden, you know what I mean? Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper their tender sighs Stop! You better give that lady fair a little smile Stop! you bet your life you'll linger there a little while We got heaven right here on earth With all those those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans

about

The New Orleans Jazz Vipers New Orleans, Louisiana

For over eighteen years the New Orleans Jazz Vipers have been a favorite of swing dancers the world over. They are an Early Swing band with hard-driving acoustic rhythm, spirited New Orleans horns, and a punk sensibility. The Vipers' unique sound comes from the absence of the drum kit; the tenacious rhythm is driven soundly by the guitar and upright bass. ... more
