Looking (listening?) for lyrics to the following:

• Rockabye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody
• Sleepy Time Gal
• You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby
• Walkin' My Baby Back Home
• Would You Like To Swing On A Star?
• I'm Satisfied With My Gal
• Up A Lazy River
• Back Home Again In Indiana
• Birth Of The Blues

Then I can quit humming onstage.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Kevin, we specialize in traditional folk music, so you might not have a lot of luck finding most of those songs here. When I get a hankering for Jazz, I go to Rabid Squirrel's Jazz Archive. For what's probably the largest collection of lyrics on the Web since the death of the University of Wisconsin Parkside collection, take a look at The International Lyrics Server.

The first might be called dixieland if you stretch the definition, but the rest? all old pops. How about Old Joe Tucker instead? He was in the Carolinas.

Here's one...Tiger

THE BIRTH OF THE BLUES

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies,
And they made that
The start of the blues.

And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail,
And they played that
As part of the blues.

From a whippoorwill out on a hill,
They took a new note;
Pushed it through a horn
'Til it was worn
Into a blue note!

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the Southland
Gave birth to the blues!

Whether they're folk or not, those songs Kevin listed are sure fun to sing. Kevin, if you can't find those songs on the links posted above, let us know. I'm sure somebody here can come up with them for you.

Yep - not really dixieland, but I didn't know how else to lump them together.

Thanks for the many great leads.
