Wild Cherries 1909

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 31 Jul 2002

Talk of yo' looney coons,
talk of yo' spoony coons,
lover of coony tunes,
Jackson was the leader of a big brass band.
Understand
While at a ball one night,
Lucinda Morgan White,
yelled out with all her might,
when he started playing some familiar tune,
She just cried with delight.

If you love yo' babe,
play that tune for me,
[Spoken:] Just because I feel so funny,
Honey, I don't care for money,
[Sing:] I'm goin' crazy that rag's a daisy
I just can't make my feeling behave,
play that tune again, mighty soon again,
[Spoken:] Honey don't you start to scold,
I'm feeling like a two year old,
[Sing:] When I hear that strain,
gwine to cry again,
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag.

If you love yo' babe,
play that tune for me,
[Spoken:] No I'm not a blowin' hon'
but I just feel like goin' some,
[Sing:] I'm goin' crazy that rag's a daisy
I just can't make my feeling behave,
play that tune again, mighty soon again,
[Spoken:] Oh, you seven come eleven!
Hon I'm goin' straight to heav'n,
[Sing:] when I hear that strain,
gwine to cry again,
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag.

Talk of yo' wedding chimes,
talk of yo' champagne wines,
talk of yo' scand'lous times,
Mister Jackson married Miss Lucinda White,
Sunday night
Just as the knot was tied,
Parson had blessed the bride,
Jackson stood by her side,
when the music played
that lovin' weddin' march,
Miss Lucinda just cried:

If you love yo' babe,
play that tune for me,
[Spoken:] Just because I feel so funny,
Honey, I don't care for money,
[Sing:] I'm goin' crazy that rag's a daisy
I just can't make my feeling behave,
play that tune again, mighty soon again,
[Spoken:] Honey don't you start to scold,
I'm feeling like a two year old,
[Sing:] When I hear that strain,
gwine to cry again,
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag.

If you love yo' babe,
play that tune for me,
[Spoken:] No I'm not a blowin' hon'
but I just feel like goin' some,
[Sing:] I'm goin' crazy that rag's a daisy
I just can't make my feeling behave,
play that tune again, mighty soon again,
[Spoken:] Oh, you seven come eleven!
Hon I'm goin' straight to heav'n,
[Sing:] when I hear that strain,
gwine to cry again,
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag.
