Lovin' Sam 1922

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 Jun 2002

Listen, sisters and brothers,
I suppose you've heard of the Sheik;
They say that he's a lovin' champ,
there ain't a woman he can't vamp,
but let me tell you about a man I know:
He's the greatest of lovers
ever kissed a gal on one cheek.
There ain't a highbrown gal in town
who wouldn't throw her lover down
to be the bride of this cullud Romeo.

People call him Lovin' Sam
He's the Sheik of Alabam'
He's a mean love makin'
a heartbreakin' man!
And when the girls go strollin' by
Boy! he rolls a wicked eye!
Does he step? Does he strut?
That's what he doesn't do
nothin' else but!
Could you love like Lovin' Sam
you could have your eggs and ham
in the finest kitchens down in Alabam'
They say he hugs 'em,
loves 'em and pets 'em
then goes away and forgets 'em.
They all love Lovin' Sam
The Sheik of Alabam'!

The Sheik of Alabam'!

Ev'ry husband and lover
better take a bit of advice;
of course they say advice is cheap,
but if your gal you aim to keep,
then here's my warnin'
and you can pass it on:
Keep your gal under cover
sure as there's a deuce on the dice,
if Lovin' Sam gives her the grin
then you is out and Sam is in
and in the mornin'
your lovin' Baby's gone!
