I Love You – Jim Reeves

I Love You

 

I Love You Lyrics

I love you, you, you
No one new will ever do
Always true, true, true
I'll forever be to you
I love you, no one new will ever, ever do
I'll always be good and true 'cause I love you, you, you

[The wedding bells are ringing in the chapel just over the hill
They're ringing for the wedding of my best friend Bill
He'll wed the girl I love and I'd rather die, but to live I've got to choose
I've lost her and I've lost a friend
But there's one thing I'll never lose
And that's the way she says...]

I love you, you, you
No one new will ever do
Always true, true, true
I'll forever be to you
I love you, no one new will ever, ever do
I'll always be good and true 'cause I love you, you, you

[In a shy sorta way I could even hear her now
Just like she was here today
She said she would always love me
And she would always be good and true
Yes, that's the one thing I'll never forget, the way she says...]

I love you, you, you
No one new will ever do
Always true, true, true
I'll forever be to you
I love you, no one new will ever, ever do
I'll always be good and true 'cause I love you, you, you

Sparkling Brown Eyes Lyrics

There's a ramshackle shack in old Caroline
It's callin' me back to the girl of mine
Those two brown eyes I'm longing to see
Oh the girl of my dreams she will always be

Those two brown eyes that sparkle with love
Came down to me from heaven above
If I could fly like a beautiful dove
I'd fly to the arms of the one that I love

Bimbo Lyrics

Bimbo, Bimbo
Where you gonna go e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
What you gonna do e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
Does your mommy know
That your going down the road
To see a little girly oh

Bimbo, is a little boy
Who's got a million friends
Every time he passes by
They all invite him in

He'll clap his hands
And sing and dance
And talk his baby talk
With a hole in his pants
And his knees stick out
He's just big enough to walk

Bimbo, Bimbo
Where you gonna go e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
What you gonna do e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
Does your mommy know
That your going down the road
To see a little girly oh

Bimbo got two big blue eyes
Hat light up like a star
And the way to light them up
Is to buy him candy bars

Cracker jack and bubble gum
Will start his day off right
All the girlies follow him
Just to beg him for a bite

Bimbo, Bimbo
Candy on your face e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
Chewing on your gummy e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
When you going to grow
Everybody loves you little baby bim B O

You never catch him sitting still
He's just the roving kind
All though he just a little boy
He's got a grown up mind
He's always got a shaggy dog
A pulling at his clothes
And everybody calls to him
As down the street he goes

Bimbo, Bimbo
Where you gonna go e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
What you gonna do e oh
Bimbo, Bimbo
Does your mommy know
That your going down the road
To see a little girly oh

Hep Cat Baby – Eddy Arnold

Hep Cat Baby

 

Hep Cat Baby Lyrics

I got a hep cat baby from a sweetie pie
A hep cat mama and that's no lie
When we go dancing on a Saturday night
She says "real gone" and she holds me tight

She's always happy when she's near the band
She says "dig this" and then she holds my hand
I don't know what she's saying to me half the time
But I love that hep cat baby of mine

Now every time we cuddle she says "solid jack"
Don't know what's making her talk like that
And when I give her kisses oh I feel like a fool
Because she's telling me that they're "real cool"

I bought a ring and put it on her hand
I said "do you like it," she said "crazy man"
Does she like it, does she hate it, oh, I'm still in doubt
'Cause I still don't know what my hep cat baby is talking about

Now when she hears those records on the radio
She starts into hollerin' "go, go, go"
She says she does it just to get in the groove
The neighbors are asking her folks to move

She maybe be kinda crazy but I don't care
I don't even mind her saying "I'm a square"
As long as I can be around her all the time
'Cause I love that hep cat baby of mine

Papa Loves Mambo – Perry Como

Papa Loves Mambo

 

Written by: Al Hoffman, Dick Manning, Bix Reichner

Papa Loves Mambo Lyrics

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "olé" with it, wow! (Ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
He loses weight with it, now!

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left, 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight)

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (Ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'Cause papa loves mama tonight (Ooh!)

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left, 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight- ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Havin' their fling again, younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (Ooh!)

Mambo papa
(Mama loves mambo)
Mambo mama
(Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba)
'Cause papa
Loves the mambo tonight
(Ooh!)

Oh My Papa Lyrics

Oh, my Pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh, my Pa-pa, to me he was so good
No one could be so gentle and so lovable
Oh, my Pa-pa, he always understood

Gone are the days when he would take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter

Oh, my Pa-pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his ways
Oh, my Pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today

Deep in my heart I miss him so today

Man With the Banjo Lyrics

Who's that comin'
Who's that strummin'
That's the man with the banjo
For a penny he'll play any song
That's happy and gay
Folks all smile and stop awhile
Because the man with the banjo
Makes their troubles
Burst like bubbles
Chasing worries away

See the children running after
While he plays his merry song
All their hearts are filled with laughter
As they tag along

Shadows fallin', sandman's callin'
Here goes the man with the banjo
Gaily hummin' softly strummin'
On his merry old way

Jim Reeves

Jim Reeves
Singer

James Travis Reeves was an American country and popular music singer and songwriter.
Reeves was born on August 20, 1923, in Galloway, Texas. As a child he was known as Travis. He won an Athletic Scholarship at the University of Texas. He started working at the Houston Shipyard. He start to play baseball as a right-handed pitcher for 3 years in the semi-professional league in 1944. Due to severe sciatic nerve problems during pitching, his athletic career came to an end.
Jim Reeves married Mary White on September 3, 1947. They never had any children.
Reeves began working as a radio announcer. In the late 1940's, he signed contracts with a number of small Texas-based small recording companies but had no success. Reeves was influenced by many singers during this time, including Jimmy Rogers, Moon Mulikan, Bing Crosby, Eddie Arnold, and Frank Sinatra. In the late 1940s, Reeves joined Moon Mullican's band but left for a solo career and recorded songs "Each Beat of my Heart" and "My Heart's Like a Welcome Mat".
Jim Reeves first achieved success in 1953 with the song "Mexican Joe". Reeves worked as a announcer for KWKH-AM in Shreveport, Louisiana, and then for the popular radio country music show "Louisiana Hayride." Raymond Franklin Page, also known as Frank Page, who introduced Elvis Presley at the Louisiana Hayride Program on October 16, 1954. Singer Sleepy LaBeef was late for the performance then and Reeves was asked to substitute.
Reeves was instrumental in creating a new style of country music that used the violin and lusher background setting that soon became known as Nashville Sound. This new sound was able to cross genres, which made Reeves even more popular as a recording artist.
Reeves' international popularity in the 1960s, sometimes surpassing his popularity in the United States, helped to market the country's music for the first time worldwide. According to Billboard, the "Reeves’ star shone equally bright overseas in the United Kingdom, India, Germany, and even South Africa".
In the early 1960's, Reeves was more popular in South Africa than Elvis Presley, and recorded several albums in the African language.
Reeves toured Britain and Ireland in 1963. He was one of the most popular recording artists in Ireland in the top 10 after the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard.
Reeves played at the Njårdhallen Sports Arena in Oslo, Norway on April 16, 1964.
On July 31, 1964, Reeves encountered a violent thunderstorm as he flew over Brentwood, Tennessee, on his way to Nashville from Batesville, Arkansas. Reeves fell in heavy rain at 4:51 p.m., and crashed just a minute later. When the wreckage was found about 42 hours later, the plane's engine and nose were crushed to the ground. On the morning of August 2, 1964, after a thorough search by several parties (including several personal friends of Reeves, such as Ernest Tubb and Marty Robbins), the dead bodies of Jim Reeves and his manager, Dean Manuel, were found in the wreckage. At 1 AM local time, radio stations across the United States began officially announcing Reeves' death. He was buried near Carthage, Texas.
