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

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

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

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

|

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

Hummin' to Myself
04:03
|

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

Someday Sweetheart
06:39
|
|||
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

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
