Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire
Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone作者: LouisLee 時間: 2012-12-8 10:48
Hildegarde "Alexander′s Ragtime Band Memories" 1938 (Set 1080p for the best quality)
Early in the mornin' when its dark and dreary out door
Early in the mornin' when its dark and dreary out door
I had a man who makes a web and hide while you sleeps and sno' (snore)
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watch me day and night
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watchin' day and night
Catch every fly as fast as she can lite
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
Been crawlin' after me all of my natural days
I'm like a poor fly, spider man please let me go
I'm like a poor fly, spider man please let me go
You've got me locked up in your house and I can't break down your door
Somebody please kill me and throw me in the sea
Somebody please kill me and throw me in the sea
This spider man of mine is going to be the death of poor me作者: LouisLee 時間: 2012-12-12 23:00

I got a girl, lives up on the hill.
I got a girl, lives up on the hill.
Tryin' to quit me, Lord, but I love her still.
Got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold.

Every time she loves me, she makes my blood run cold.
Body beautiful, but you've got to die someday.

Ella Fitzgerald with Chick Webb and his Orchestra "Rock it for me" 1937(720p HD)
I heard it came to town,
A new kind of rhythm,
Spread around,
Sort of set you sizzlin',
Now I'm all through with symphony,
Oh, rock it for me!
Every night
You'll see all the nifties
Plenty tight,
Swingin' down the fifties,
Now they're all through with symphony,
Ho ho ho, rock it for me!
Now it's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing,
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme,
So won't you satisfy my soul
With the rock and roll?
You can't be tame
While the band is playin';
It ain't no shame
To keep your body swayin'!
Beat it out in the minor key,
Ho ho ho, rock it for me!
Can't you hear me singin', la-la-la-la-la,
While the band is swingin',
Oh, Chick Webb's sockin'
And the band is rockin',
So send me lightly, politely,
Brightly and slightly,
Ho ho ho, rock it for me!
Now I'm all through with this stuff they call symphony,
Come on boys and sorta rock it for me!
It's true that once upon a time
The opera was the thing,
But today the rage is rhythm and rhyme,
So won't you satisfy my soul With the rock and roll?
You can't be tame
While the band is playin';
It ain't no shame
To keep your body swayin'!
Beat it out in the minor key,
Oh rock it,
Oh rock it,
Say won't you rock it for me!

This maybe the earliest Rock 'n' Roll song in recording history:
Shake That Thing - Papa Charlie Jackson 1925 (1080p HD)
A modern re-make of Abe Lyman Orch's 1926 arrangement.
Now Grandpa Johnson grabbed Sister Kate,
She shoke it just like she shakes the jelly upon the plate.
We're gonna shake that thing.
Aw, shake that thing.
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing.
Now old Uncle Jack, the jelly roll king.
He just got back from shakin' that thing.
Now he shakes that thing.
Wants a little more to shake that thing.
I'm gettin'sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing.
Now old Uncle Moe, he's sick in bed.
The doctor says he's almost dead.
From wantin' to shake that thing.
Wants a little more to shake that thing.
I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing.
Now the folks in Georgia they've done gone wild.
The hold of this dance is settin' the style.
They call it Shake That Thing.
Aw, Shake That Thing.

At the Christmas Ball - Bessie Smith 18 Nov 1925 (Set 1080p for the best quality)
"Hey Bessie it's Christmas here"
Here! Here! Hurray for Christmas
Christmas comes but once a year, and to me it brings good cheer,
and to everyone who likes wine and beer
Happy New Year is after that, happy I'll be, that is a fact
That is why I like to hear, folks I say that Christmas is here
Christmas bells will ring real soon, even in the afternoon
There'll be no chimes shall ring at the Christmas Ball
Everyone must watch their step, or they will loose their rep
Everybody full of fare at the Christmas Ball
(Excellent Joe Smith solo)
Grab your partner one an' all, keep on dancing 'round the hall
Then there's no one to fall, don't you dare to strut
If your partner don't act fair, don't worry there's some more over there
Seekin' a chance everywhere at the Christmas Ball 作者: LouisLee 時間: 2012-12-30 08:18
Have you seen the well-to-do, up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare, with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime, for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a daycoat, pants with stripes
And cut away coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Tips his hat just like an english chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy (very snappy)
You'll declare it's simply topping to be there
And hear them swapping smart titbits
Puttin' on the ritz!作者: LouisLee 時間: 2012-12-30 09:33

How LongBlues - Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell 1928
How long, babe how long has that evenin' train been gone
How long, how long, baby how long?
Yeah, I stood at the station watch my baby leavin' town
Blue and disgusting, nowhere could peace be found (?)
How long, how long, baby how long?
I can hear the whistle blowin', but I cannot see no train
And it's deep down in my heart baby, there lies an achin’ pain
How long, how long, baby, how long?
Sometimes I feel so disgustin’ and I feel so blue
That I hardly know what in this world baby, just to do
How long, how long, baby how long?
And if I could holler like I was in my own tin track (?) (I was “a mountain jack”)
I would go up on a mountain and I'd call my baby back
How long, how long, baby how long?
And if someday you gonna be sorry that you done me wrong
But it will be too late baby, I will be gone
For so long, so long, baby so long.
My mind just gets a ramblin’, I feel so bad
Thinkin’ about the bad luck that I have had
For how long, how long, baby how long
first one is just Jimmy Yancey alone, playing "How Long Blues" as an instrumental piece. The second one features Mama Yancey singing the song being accompanied by Jimmy Yancey.作者: LouisLee 時間: 2013-1-4 00:30

Right from the start.

Now your gal done come.

Lawd, lawd, lawd.
Go'n away, baby,

Just as long as I am tall.

Gonna kill my man and,
Catch the Cannonball.
If he don't have me,
He won't have no gal at all. 作者: LouisLee 時間: 2013-2-2 16:51
Slave to the Blues - Ma Rainey (Set 1080p for the best quality)
Music written by Isham Jones Lyrics written by Gus Kahn
Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try, to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying, "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall, 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found, the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found, the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you作者: LouisLee 時間: 2013-3-14 23:52
