"New Orleans"
Lead sheet on "New Orleans" (Hoagy Carmichael).
Lyrics:
If you've never seen a quaint old Southern city
Just think of New, think of New Orleans
If you've never seen that town, boy, it's a pity
There's nothing like, nothing like New Orleans
It will remind you old fashioned lace
A glass of wine will greet your smiling face
And if you ever see a black-eyed gal like mine, boy
Oh, then you're right in it, right in New Orleans
Lyrics:

There's nothing like, nothing like New Orleans

A glass of wine will greet your smiling face
And if you ever see a black-eyed gal like mine, boy
Oh, then you're right in it, right in New Orleans

I had a dream, dear

You tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine

"Just A Little While To Stay Here"
Lead sheet for "Just A Little While To Stay Here" (Eugene Monroe Bartlett).
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Soon this life will all be over
And our pilgramage will end
Soon we'll take our heavenly journey
Be at home with Christ our friend
Heaven's gates are standing open
Waiting for our entrance there
Some sweet day we're going over
All the beauties there to share
Verse 2:
Soon we'll meet all the redeemed ones
And we'll take them by the hand
Soon we'll press into our bosom
Over in the promised land
Then we'll be at home forever
Through out all eternity
What a blessed, blessed morning
That eternal morn will be
Chorus:
Just a little while to stay here
Just a little while to wait
Just a little while to labor
In the path that's always straight
Just a little more of troubles
In this low and sinful state
Then we'll enter heaven's portals
Sweeping through those pearly gates

"Somebody Else Is Taking My Place"
Lead sheet for "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" (Dick Howard, Bob Ellsworth, and Russ Morgan, 1937).
Lyrics:
Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else shares your embrace
Now while I'm trying to keep from crying
You go around with a smile on your face
Little you care for the vows that we made
Little you care how much I have paid
My heart is aching soon will be breaking
For someone is taking my place
Lyrics:
Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else shares your embrace
Now while I'm trying to keep from crying
You go around with a smile on your face
Little you care for the vows that we made
Little you care how much I have paid
My heart is aching soon will be breaking
For someone is taking my place
"Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me"
Lead sheet for "Blues My Naughty Sweetie GivesTo Me" (Arthur N. Swanstone, Charles R. McCarron, & Carey Morgan, 1919).
BLUES (MY NAUGHTY SWEETIE GIVES TO ME)
Arthur N. Swanstone, Charles R. McCarron, & Carey Morgan
New York: Jos. W. Stern & Co., © 1919.
VERSE 1
What is that song about kisses? What is that song about smiles?
If I could have my way, I'd sing a song today
That would beat them all by miles.
I wouldn't sing about smiling. That's not the title I'd choose.
I would sing about what I've got, and what I've got's the weary blues.
CHORUS 1
There are blues that you get from worry,
There are blues that you get from pain,
And there are blues when you're lonely,
For your one and only,
The blues you can never explain.
There are blues that you get from longing,
But the bluest blues that can be
Are the sort of blues that's on my mind.
They're the very meanest kind,
The blues my naughty sweetie gives to me.
VERSE 2
No use in chasing those rainbows. Rainbows will never help you.
They look so bright and gay, but they will fade away,
Then you'll find the sky's all blue.
Look at the ocean and that's blue. My sweetie's eyes are blue too.
When she got me, she blew away, and natur'ly that makes me blue.
CHORUS 2
There are blues that you get when single.
Those are blues that will give you pain,
And there are blues when you're lonely,
For your one and only,
The blues you can never explain.
There are blues that you get from longing
To hold someone on your knee,
But the kind of blues that always stabs,
Comes from hiring taxicabs,
The blues my naughty sweetie gives to me.
CHORUS 3
There are blues that you get from sweetie
When she phones to another guy,
And there are blues when your honey
Spends all of your money
And blues when she tells you a lie.
There are blues that you get when married,
Wishing that you could be free.
But the kind of blues that's good and blue
Comes from buying wine for two,
The kind of blues my sweetie gives to me.
