Cab Calloway - St. James infirmary

Tekst :

Folks, I m goin down to St. James Infirmary,
See my baby there;
She s stretched out on a long, white table,
She s so sweet, so cold, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be,
She will search this wide world over,
But she ll never find another sweet man like me.

Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.

An give me six crap shooting pall bearers,
Let a chorus girl sing me a song.
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along.

Folks, now that you have heard my story,
Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
If anyone should ask you,
Tell em I ve got those St. James Infirmary blues.

    Paris

    Paris is beautiful during the summertime, I hear
    Here is so dull and grey after the April snow has cleared
    I keep New York in mind, rain on the streets this time of year
    I saw you in my mind, I conquer your forbidden land
    See your treasure s inside the sea
    Don t waste...

    Colored kisses

    Red, the fire that burns my heart
    when you re near it wraps me up
    now I find the space to feel blue
    like the water it fills me with peace
    when you love me again I still breathe
    king you re at my side
    your soul in mine
    but...

    The scat song

    When your sweetie tells you, everything ll be okay,
    Just skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!

    If you feel like shoutin , advertise it just this way:
    And skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!

    Don t give a hang what words you use at any time,
    Sing this...

    Let me in

    I ve been watching your performance
    From the minute you got here
    you ve been riding on your high horse
    But your motives are not clear
    You have filled up all the ashtrays
    And the carpets wearing thin
    I believe we both speak English...

    More than friends

    I don t know what you really want
    Oh baby did I say something wrong
    So many times I just fantasize
    But I don t need your free life

    So if you really want me
    baby just give me one more sign
    If...
