"(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle"
(originally by Hank Williams)



I was riding number nine
Heading South from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid, actin' smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was a too young to know

They took me off the Georgia Main
And tied me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear this shame
Well, I'm a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry
When that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine
'Cause I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

"18 Yellow Roses"

"18 Yellow Roses"


Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today

I opened up the card
To see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another
I love you anyway
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today

I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothing left for me to do
But ask to meet the boy
That's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans
To buy you a ring

Cuz eighteen yellow roses
Will wilt and die one day
But a fathers love, will never fade away
Will never fade away

"A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square"

"A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square"


That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dinin’ at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I may be right
May be wrong
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

The moon that lingered over London town
Poor, puzzled moon
He wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darn world seemed upside-down.

The streets uptown were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed
And said good night
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Ah, this heart of mine
It beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancin’ cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

When dawn came stealin’ up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous
I still remember how you smiled and said,
Was that a dream
Or was it true?

Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancin’ feet of Astaire
And just like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley..
A nightingale sang in Berkeley..
That night in Berkeley Square.

"A Taste Of Honey"


Cold winds may blow o'er the icy sea but I'll take with
Me the warmth of thee a taste of honey a taste much
Sweeter than wine
He will return he will return he'll come back for the
Honey and me

I'll leave behind my heart to wear and may it e'er remind
You of a taste of honey a taste much sweeter than wine
He will return he will return he'll come back for the
Honey and me

Waitin' on you on needles and pins

"Ace In The Hole"
(with Johnny Mercer)

"Ace In The Hole"
(with Johnny Mercer)



[Johnny:]
This town is full of guys
who think they're mighty wise
just because they know a thing or two.

[Bobby:]
You'll meet them night and day
strollin' up and down Broadway
telling of the wonders they can do.

[Johnny:]
Oh, sing it, Bobby boy!

[Bobby:]
I just did!

[Johnny:]
There's con men and there's boosters.

[Bobby:]
There's card sharks and crapshooters.

[Johnny:]
They congregate around the Metropole.

[Bobby:]
If I knew what that meant I would agree with him.
They wear flashy ties and collars.

[Johnny:]
Yes, but where do they get there dollars?

[Both:]
They all have got an ace down in the hole.

[Johnny:]
Yes, and some of them write
to the old folks for coin
and that is their ace in the hole.

[Bobby:]
And others have friends on the old Tenderloin
that's their old ace in the hole.

[Johnny:]
Why, they'll tell you of trips
that they're going to make
from Florida
to the North Pole.

[Bobby:]
The fact is their name would be mud
just like a chum playin' stud.

[Both:]
If they lost that old ace in the hole.

[Johnny:]
Oh, yes, now, some of them write
you'll find a lot of them write to the

[Bobby:]
Just a minute, just a minute, let the man play his piano solo.

[Johnny:]
But, I want to sing tenor!

[Bobby:]
I don't really care if you sing ten or twenty minutes, after he's through playin' piano.

[Johnny:]
Listen too 'em, I think I make it better than he does.

[Bobby:]
Well, that's the nastiest remark I've ever heard.

[Both:]
Listen now, if you don't like the way I sing, why don't you sing
I think...
Sing Melancholy Baby! Sing something!

[Bobby:]
Why they tell you of the trips
they're gonna make
over to Florida
all the way up to the North Pole.

[Johnny:]
Oh, it's sad, sad.

[Bobby:]
Volare!!

[Johnny:]
But, their names would be mud.

[Bobby:]
Like a chump playin' stud.

[Both:]
If they lost
that old ace
ace in the hole.

[Bobby:]
Have another drink.

"All Nite Long"


If you see me comin', baby, lift your window high
If you see me comin', lift your window high
And if you see me going, hang your head and cry

You've got a wail, got to roll all nite long
Got to move, got to rock all nite long
Got to roll, got to reel-a all nite long
Got to reel like you feel-a all nite long

Got to love me, pretty baby, till the sun comes up at dawn
Baby, you're so beautiful but you're gonna cry one day
I said, "You're so beautiful but you're gonna cry one day"
You're gonna feel so bad for-a treating me this way-a

You've got a wail got to roll all nite long
Got to move, got to rock all nite long
Got to roll, got to reel-a all nite long
Got to reel what you feel-a all nite long

Got to love me pretty, baby
Till the sun comes up at dawn

Forget your blues, let your love come tumbling down
Forget your blues, let your love come tumbling down, down
Have you heard the news, big loving Daddy's in town?

You got to roll, got to rock all nite long
Got to move, got to wail-a all nite long
Got to roll, got to reel-a all nite long
Got to reel like you feel all nite long

Till the sun comes up at dawn
You've got to love me pretty baby
Till the sun comes up at dawn

You've got to love me pretty baby
Till the sun comes up at dawn
You've got to love me pretty baby
Till the sun comes up at dawn
