'LONG ABOUT SUNDOWN

Hal Kemp & His Orch. (vocal: Skinnay Ennis) - 1933
Don Bestor & His Orch. (vocal: Maurice Cross) - 1933
Phil Harris & His Orch. (vocal: Leah Ray) - 1933




As recorded by MAURICE CROSS with Don Bestor's Orch. 
and SKINNAY ENNIS with Hal Kemp's Orch.:


'Long about sundown 
I long to hurry to you
'Long about sundown 
I long for kisses we knew

The world is like a bluebird's nest
A paradise of charms
And twilight means that I'll find rest
Deep within the heaven of your arms

Oh, 'long about sundown
Along a rose-covered lane
'Long about sundown
I long to meet you again

I only wish that we could spend
An evening that would never end
'Long about sundown
How I long for you

As recorded by LEAH RAY with Phil Harris' Orch.:


'Long about sundown 
I long to hurry to you
'Long about sundown 
I long for kisses we knew

This world is like a bluebird's nest
A paradise of charms
And evening means that I'll find rest
Here within the heaven of your arms

Oh, 'long about sundown
Beside a rose-covered vane
'Long about sundown
I long to meet you again

I only wish that we could spend
An evening that would never end
'Long about sundown
How I long for you
