LITTLE CRAZY QUILT
(Leon Carr / Hal David)
as recorded by Patti Page
with Jack Rael & his Orchestra
1955
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, I'm all alone,
Please keep me warm 'til my loved one comes home.
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, so gay and bright,
I'm dreaming of my love tonight.
You've got patches of blue like the blue of his eyes,
Patches of brown like the brown of his hair,
Patches of gold like the moon in the skies,
The moon that shone down when we learned to care.
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, soon he'll be home,
After we're married no more will he roam.
When the wedding's through we will take you to the house we built,
And you'll keep us warm, little crazy quilt!
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, I'm all alone,
Please keep me warm 'til my loved one comes home.
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, so gay and bright,
I'm dreaming of my love tonight.
You've got patches of blue like the blue of his eyes,
Patches of brown like the brown of his hair,
Patches of gold like the moon in the skies,
The moon that shone down when we learned to care.
Little crazy quilt, little crazy quilt, soon he'll be home,
After we're married no more will he roam.
When the wedding's through we will take you to the house we built,
And you'll keep us warm, little crazy quilt!
