15 Nov 03 - 04:32 PM (#1054302) Subject: Lyr Req: Oh Little Girl I love you but you're... From: GUEST,Diana Sedenquist I'm trying to remember the lyrics to a funny old song that my Dad used to sing. It's a song about a young woman who is preparing to go to bed but before she does she has to take off her wig and her glass eye and her false limbs. Right now I'm remembering just a couple lines from the song: "You put your glass eye upon the table and your ---- under the bed..." And the final line is: "Oh little girl, I love you, but you're scattered everywhere." Thank you for the help. Diana |

30 Dec 10 - 07:08 PM (#3064140) Subject: Lyr Add: MY LITTLE GIRL I LOVE YOU (verse 1) From: GUEST,Syd Reinarz Diana is looking for the lyrics from "My Little Girl I Love You." I have a copy on the Bluebird label from the 30's, sung by Curly Williams, orchestra by Jimmie Revard & The Oklahoma Playboys. "My little girl, you got sleepy, and you went upstairs to bed. You put your false hair upon the dresser, and your peg-leg under the bed. You put your glass eye upon the window and your swell teeth on the chair. My little girl, you know I love you, but you're scattered here and there." |

28 Feb 11 - 03:00 AM (#3104036) Subject: Lyr Add: MY LITTLE GIRL I LOVE YOU (verse 2) From: 12-stringer The other verse is the "straight" one, sung to the same melody. This was a 1915 pop song, written by Albert von Tilzer, and was a favorite among hillbilly string bands in the 1920s and 1930s. Jimmie Revard's band, the Oklahoma Playboys. is mostly forgotten today but was one of the best western swing groups of that music's Golden Age. They were jazzmen and hot as a six-shooter on Reno Street. The straight verse goes like this: My little girl, you know I love you, and I long for you each day My little girl, I'm dreaming of you, though you're many miles away There was a time, down in the wildwood, When you promised you'd be true My little girl, you know I love you, and I'm coming back to you. Those are the lyrics from the Revard 78. They vary slightly but not significantly from the original set. Revard only does the chorus (straight and parody), not the verse or the interlude riff. The UCSB cylinder preservation site has a free download of a 1915 Edison, and there are a couple of other pop recordings at jazz-on-line.com. Song is very friendly to three-chord guitarists. |

Then the song has her scattering her glass eye, her wooden leg, her false teeth around the room. But the last line is is definitely, "my little darlin' I want to squeeze you, but you're scattered everywhere. The music is almost like the My Little Girl I Love You fast tune. Does anyone remember that? |

17 Mar 21 - 10:11 PM (#4098144) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Little Girl I Love You (Curly Williams From: GUEST I know this is an old thread, but I’d like to post the version my dad sang to me as a child. He would be 100 years old this year. My little girl, she weighs 300 and she gains a pound each day. My little girl, if you don’t stop gaining, you’ll soon be a mile each way. My little girl, there’s a gate in the backyard that you can’t waddle through. My little girl, you know I love you, but there’s oh so much of you. My little girl, she soon gets sleepy, and she goes upstairs to bed. She puts her false teeth on the mantle, and her wooden leg under the bed. She puts her glass eye under the pillow, hangs her wig upon a chair. My little girl, you know I love you, but you’re scattered everywhere. |
