Thread Name: Lyr Req: Blue Skirt Waltz
Subject: RE: Blue Skirt Waltz
As done by Lawrence Duchow & his Red Raven Orchestra. Vocal by Leo Rohan

I dug back into my old 78's for this one. Still in remarkably good shape.

Blue Skirt Waltz

I wandered alone one night
'til I heard an orchestra play
I met you where lights were bright
and people were carefree & gay.
You were the beautiful lady in blue,
I was in heaven just waltzing with you.
You filled me with strange delight
then softly you stole away.

I dream of that night with you,
lady when first we met.
We danced in a world of blue
how can my heart forget.
Blue were the skies and blue were your eyes
just like the blue skirt you wore.
Come back, blue lady come back.
Don't be blue anymore.

Bob S.
