Got a covey of quail
Flyin' 'round in my noggin
Got a covey of quail
Flyin' round in my mind

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine

Came home and I really was reelin'
Under my sombrero
Came home with the feathey' feelin'
'Bout that gal of mine

Slipped out to serenade her
And the night was a velvety black
And, oh, the tune I played her
With my guitar slung behind my back

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine
A feathry feelin' 'bout that gal of mine

(Slipped out) Slipped out (to serenade her)
(And the night was a velvety black) Night was a velvety black
(And, oh) Oh-oh, (the tune he played her) Who me?
(With his guitar) Old guitar (slung behind his back)

Came home (Came home) with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero
Came home (Came home) with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine
A feathry feelin' 'bout that gal of mine
That gal of mine

FEATHERY FEELIN' THE (Helen Forrest)


as recorded by Helen Forrest with Hal Mooney & his Orchestra  Dec 1st 1947


Came home with a feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with a feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine.

Came home and I really was reelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
'Bout that guy of mine.

He slipped out to serenade me
And the night was a velvety black.
And oh, the tune he played me
With his guitar slung behind his back!

Came home with a feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with a feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine,
The feathery feelin' 'bout that guy of mine.

That feelin' leaves her without a care,
Every moment the feelin' is there,
She's walkin' on clouds high in the air!

Came home , (my, was she reelin'!)
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
'Bout that guy of mine.

He slipped out to serenade her
And the night was velvety black.
And oh, the tune he played her
With his guitar slung behind his back!

Came home with a feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero.
Up and down my spine,
The feathery feelin' 'bout that guy of mine,
That feelin' all the time
'Bout that guy of mine!

FEATHERY FEELIN' THE (Hoagy Carmichael)


as recorded by Hoagy Carmichael with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra  Dec 8th 1947


Got a covey of quail
Flyin' round in my noggin,
Got a covey of quail
In frantic flight.
I'm a little bit pale
And my eyes keep a-foggin',
Since that covey of quail
Flew in last night.

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine.

Came home and I really was a-reelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
About that gal o' mine.

Slipped out to serenade her
And the night was a velvety black.
And oh, the tune I played her
With the guitar slung behind my back!

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine,
The feathery feelin' about that gal o' mine.

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine.

Came home and I really was a-reelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
About that gal o' mine.

Slipped out to serenade her
And the night was a velvety black.
Oh-oh, the tune I played her
With the guitar slung behind my back!

Came home with the feathery feelin'
Under my sombrero,
Came home with the feathery feelin'
Up and down my spine,
The feathery feelin' about that gal o' mine.
