Jerry Jeff Walker does a nice version of this. After hearing it, I got the sheet music from Levy and put the arrangement into NoteWorthy. If anyone would like the resulting MIDI (or the NoteWorthy score) please drop me a line and I'll E-Mail it or post it on my website............Ralph Butts (rsbassoc@neca.com)
My Buddy
Lyrics by Gus Kahn, music by Walter Donaldson
Copyright 1922, by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York and Detroit
Transcribed (RSB) from Levy Sheet Music collection, 1/7/99.Life is a book that we study,
Some of its leaves bring a sigh.
There it was written, my buddy,
That we must part, you and I.
CHORUS
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all thru the day,
My buddy, my buddy,
No buddy quite so true.Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy,
Your buddy misses you.Buddies thru all of the gay days,
Buddies when something went wrong,
I wait alone thru the gray days,
Missing your smile and your song.
CHORUS
