Lyrics
My, my, how I miss your tender kiss
And the wonderful things you would do
Now I run my hands through silvery strands
Because I’m blue, turning grey over
You used to be so sweet to me, baby
That’s when I was a novelty
You have new thrills and view, found someone new
Left me blue, turning grey over you
Beautiful, so thankyou, Geminazzo!
If you Google the excellent "dippermouth blog" and scroll down a bit, you will find 2 detailed blogs about this tune by Louis, one for the 1955 recording (ie, yours) and underneath that is one for the 1930 recording.
'Dippermouth' is Ricky Riccardi, who is the Project Archivist at the Louis.Armstrong House Museum in New York,
'redhot jazz' is v.good for Louis and for early jazz.
fat's waller's genius in composing faded after he reached his mid thirties...but didn't he write some beautiful tunes..Louis reportedly cried all day when he heard that Fats had died in December 1943,at 39 years of age.
