Subject: Lawd you made the night too long From: Steve Parkes Date: 10 May 01 - 08:01 AM Not quite Folk, I admit (unless it's got antecedents); but I sat on my 78 about thirty years ago! Some of you must be old enough to remember it? Ta, Steve |
Subject: Lyr Add: SAM YOU MADE THE PANTS TOO LONG ^^ From: IanC Date: 10 May 01 - 08:36 AM Sorry, can't find the lyrics on the net. Here's a parody I found, though.
SAM, YOU MADE THE PANTS TOO LONG
Trousers dragging, slowly dragging through the street
You made the coat and vest fit the best
You made the peak lapel look so swell
They got a belt and they got suspenders
You feel a winter breeze up and down the knees
Cheers! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lawd you made the night too long From: dick greenhaus Date: 11 May 01 - 12:40 AM It was a hit for Louis Armstrong in the early 30s; Guy Lombardo did it, too. |
Subject: Lyr Add: LORD, YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG From: Joe Offer Date: 11 May 01 - 03:54 AM There's probably more, but this is all I can find for now. LORD (LAWD), YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG was a Top 20 hit for both jazz giant Louis Armstrong and bandleader Guy Lombardo in 1932. A parody, entitled "Sam, You Made The Pants Too Long" was written by Milton Berle in 1940 and recorded by both Vaughn Monroe and Barbra Streisand. -Joe Offer- LORD, YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG (Sam Lewis & Victor Young ) You made the river flow, the flowers blow You made the weak and the strong But Lord you made the night too long You made the robin sing a song of spring And me you gave a lonely song That's why you made the night too long. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lawd you made the night too long From: Steve Parkes Date: 11 May 01 - 10:57 AM Thnaks Joe! Yes, there is more: "I got a gal an' I got a cabin ..."[??] ... I'll just have to be patient till the rest gets here. Steve |
Subject: Lyr Add: LORD, YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG^^ From: MAG (inactive) Date: 11 May 01 - 02:42 PM OK, This from Jim Craig's " ... in a nutshell" recording, impeccably arranged and picked by himself (my comment)
You made the river flow, the flower grow
You made the robin sing, the song of spring
I've got a heart, I've got a cabin
You made the mountain high, the earth, the sky
repeat previous two; vamp out Yeah, the night's too long |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lawd you made the night too long From: Joe Offer Date: 11 May 01 - 07:31 PM Thanks a lot, MAG - I looked and looked, and just couldn't find it. I know I've got it around here somewhere. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lawd you made the night too long From: Troll Date: 11 May 01 - 08:11 PM The song "Sam, you made the Pants too Long" is the song that "made" a young burlesque performer named Red Buttons. That was in 1939.Someone important heard him sing it in a show and gave him his big break. Barbara Streisand also recorded it. We do it in the Klezmer band. troll |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lawd you made the night too long From: Steve Parkes Date: 14 May 01 - 03:57 AM Thanks MAG! Now if can just find an excuse to sing it in a folk club ... Steve |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lord, You Made the Night Too Long From: Jim Dixon Date: 03 Feb 10 - 10:12 AM You can hear LAWD, YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG, performed by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, at The Red Hot Jazz Archive. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lord, You Made the Night Too Long From: Art Thieme Date: 03 Feb 10 - 08:42 PM Old friend, JIM CRAIG, has the best damn voice (male) to come out of the Chicago area folk scene during the whole last half of the twentieth century. (That's just one guy's humble opinion.) As MAG has said, Jim does own and operate HOGEYE MUSIC---a great store in Evanston, Illinois. I think the address is 1920 Central Street; right across from Dyche Stadium where Northwestern University plays their home football games. I do get nostalgic for old musical times just writing this. And that was a great tape Jim made back in '86. He has never shown much inkling to record in the past---unless something has been issued by him that I don't know about. But I've been out of the loop for over a decade now,.. so don't hold me responsible for false info. The phone at Hogeye Music is (or was) 847-475-0260 Art |
