Al Jolson (May 26, 1886 – October 23, 1950) was an American singer, comedian, and actor. In his heyday, he was dubbed "The World's Greatest Entertainer".
His performing style was brash and extroverted, and he popularized a large number of songs that benefited from his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach". Numerous well-known singers were influenced by his music, including Bing CrosbyJudy Garland, rock and country entertainer Jerry Lee Lewis, and Bob Dylan, who once referred to him as "somebody whose life I can feel". Broadway critic Gilbert Seldes compared him to "the Greek God Pan", claiming that Jolson represented "the concentration of our national health and gaiety."
In the 1930s, he was America's most famous and highest paid entertainer. Between 1911 and 1928, Jolson had nine sell-out Winter Garden shows in a row, more than 80 hit records, and 16 national and international tours. Although he's best remembered today as the star in the first (full length) talking movie, The Jazz Singer in 1927, he later starred in a series of successful musical films throughout the 1930s. After a period of inactivity, his stardom returned with the 1946 Oscar-winning biographical film, The Jolson Story. Larry Parks played Jolson with the songs dubbed in with Jolson’s real voice. A sequel, Jolson Sings Again, was released in 1949, and was nominated for three Oscars. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jolson became the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II, and again in 1950 became the first star to perform for G.I.s in Korea, doing 42 shows in 16 days. He died just weeks after returning to the U.S., partly due to the physical exertion of performing. Defense Secretary George Marshall afterward awarded the Medal of Merit to Jolson's family.
When the wintry winds starts blowing
And the snow is starting in the fall
Then my eyes went westward knowing
That's the place that i love best of all
California i've been blue
Since i've been away from you
I can't wait 'till i get blowing
Even now i'm starting in a call
California, Here I Come
Right back where I started from
where bowers of flowers
bloom in the spring
each morning at dawning
birdies sing at everything
a sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
that's why I can hardly wait
open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come
California, Here I Come (yeaaaaaah!)
Right back where I started from
where bowers of flowers
bloom in the spring
each morning at dawning
birdies sing at everything
a sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
that's why I can hardly wait (come on!)
open up (open up! open up!) that golden gate
California, Here I Come
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye
I dreamt the world had not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream, but when I dream of thee.
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is over.
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
Come to me or my dream of love is over.
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen.
You Made Me Love You
Al Jolson (1913)
Music by James V. Monaco and Words by Joseph McCarthy
Also sung by Cole Porter
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
I've been away from you along time
I never thought I'd miss 'ya so
Somehow I feel, your love is real
Near you I wanna be.
The Birds are singing it is songtime
The banjos strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me to swanee you're calling me
Chorus
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee.
I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me,
praying for me down by the swanne.
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore
(he whistles like a bird)
I love the old folks at home
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee. I'd give the world to be among the
folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for
me, praying for me down by the swanee.
Climb up on my knee Sonny Boy
Though you're only three Sonny Boy
You've no way of knowing
There's no way of showing
What you mean to me Sonny Boy
When there are gray skies
I don't mind the gray skies
You make them blue Sonny Boy
Friends may forsake me
Let them all forsake me
I still have you Sonny Boy
You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth
You made a heaven
For me here on earth
When I'm old and gray dear
Promise you won't stray dear
For I love you so Sonny Boy
When there are gray skies
I don't mind gray skies
You make them blue Sonny Boy
Friends may forsake me
Let them all forsake me
I still have you Sonny Boy
You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth
You've made a heaven
For me here on earth
And the angels grew lonely
Took you because they were lonely
Everything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But later, when you are further away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:
Mammy,
Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best--
Mammy,
My little mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm comin',
Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin',
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,
My little Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh...
(SPOKEN) Mammy...
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east-- the sun shines west--
I know where-- the sun shines best!
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
(SUNG) My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(SPOKEN) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'--
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby!
(SUNG) I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
Yesterday I heard a lover sigh
Goodbye, oh me oh my!
Seven times he got aboard his train
And seven times he hurried back to give his love again and tell her:
Toot Toot Tootsie goodbye.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
That little choo-choo train
That takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me Tootsie and then,
Oh baby, do it over again.
Watch for the mail;
I'll never fail,
And if you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
When somebody says goodbye to me
Oh I'm sad as can be.
Not so with this loving Romeo.
He seems to take a lot of pleasure saying goodbye to his treasure.
Toot Toot Tootsie, bye bye bye bye bye!
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
The little choo-choo, the little train
That takes, that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me, kiss me Tootsie and then
Oh, do it over again.
And though I yearn
You need to learn
I'll keep playing Solitaire until I return.
Don't cry tootsie, don't cry!
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye! s
Oh you railway station!
Oh you Pullman Train!
There's my reservation
For my destination,
Far beyond the western plains
To see my home in Pasadena.
Home where grass is greener
Where honeybees
Hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I'm gonna see a home-sweet-homer
And there I'll settle down
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.
Where honeybees hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.
(whistling)
Home home home home in Pasadena,
Home home home home where grass is greener.
Where the little bees, they hum melodies,
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I'm gonna be a home-sweet-homer
And right there I'll settle down
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.
Everything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But later, when you are further away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:
Mammy,
Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best--
Mammy,
My little mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm comin',
Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin',
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,
My little Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh...
(SPOKEN) Mammy...
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east-- the sun shines west--
I know where-- the sun shines best!
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
(SUNG) My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(SPOKEN) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'--
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby!
(SUNG) I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy!
Here in my heart I'm alone, I'm so lonely
Here in my heart I just yearn for you only
Here in my arms I long to hold you
Hold you so near, ever close to my heart
So, darling
Say that you care, take these arms I give gladly
Surely you know I need your love so badly
Here is my heart, my life, and my all, dear
Please be mine and stay here in my heart
REPEAT second verse
Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here's a thought that we should never miss:
Though April showers
May come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May;
And if it's raining,
Have no regrets;
Because, it isn't raining rain, you know,
It's raining violets.
And when you see clouds
Upon the hill,
You soon will see crowds
Of daffodils;
So keep on looking for the bluebird,
And listening for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.
Though April showers
May come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May;
And if it's raining,
Have no regrets;
Because, it isn't raining rain, you know,
It's raining violets.
And when you see clouds
Upon the hill,
You soon will see crowds
Of daffodils;
So keep on looking for the bluebird,
And listening for his song,
Oh how we danced on the night we were wed -
We vowed our true love tho a word wasn't said,
The moon was aglow, there were stars in the skies,
Except for the few that were there in your eyes,
Dear as I held you close in my arms-
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low,
Darlin, I love you so
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The light shone on you but the dance lingered on
Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime,
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band.
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
About the best band in the land.
They can play a bugle call like you never heard before,
So natural that you'll want to go to war.
That's just the bestest band what am,
Oh honey lamb.
Come on along,
Come on along,
Let me take you by the hand.
Up to the man,
Up to the man
Who's the leader of the band.
And if you want to hear the Swanee River
Played in ragtime,
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band.
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
Alexander's ragtime band.
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
About the best band in the land.
They can play a bugle call like you've never heard before.
That's just the bestest band what am.
Oh my honey lamb!
Come on along,
Come on along,
Let me take you by the hand.
Up to the man,
Up to the man
Who's the leader of the band.
And if you care to hear the Swanee River
Played in ragtime,
Come on and hear,
Come on and hear
Alexander's Ragtime Band.
Alexander's Ragtime Band!
Life begins when somebody's eyes look into your own.
Life begins when you get your gal all alone.
From morning until twilight
I don't know I'm alive
But I know love begins at 8:45.
The stars are gonna twinkle and shine,
How they'll shine!
This evening about a quarter to nine.
My loving arms are going to tenderly twine
Around you around a quarter to nine.
I know I won't be late
Cause at half past eight,
I'm going to hurry there.
I'I'll be waiting where the lane begins
Waiting for you on needles and pins.
And then the world is going to be mine
Mine all mine!
This evening about a quarter to nine.
I know I won't be late
Cause at half past eight
I'm going to hurry there.
I'll be waiting where the lane begins
Waiting for you on needles and pins.
And then the world is going to be mine
Mine all mine!
This evening about a quarter to nine.
California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning, at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune
From the heart of Dixie.
Hang that cradle mammy mine
Right on that Mason-Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the soul that's in ya.
Weap no more my lady.
Mammy sing it again for me.
And old black Joe
Just as though
You had me on your knee.
A million baby kisses I'll deliver
If you will only sing the Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody.
Rock-a-bye,
Hush-a-bye
With a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune
from the heart of Dixie
Hang that cradle mammy mine
Right on that Mason-Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the soul that's in ya.
Mammy, mammy listen to what they're playing.
They're playing Weap No More My Lady.
Sing it for me.
And old black Joe
Just as though
You had me on your knee.
A thousand baby kisses I'll deliver
If you will only sing that Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody!
I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay.
I left my love in Avalon
And I sailed away.
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn.
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.
Every morn' my memories stray
Across the sea where flying fishes play.
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all-enthralling day.
Beside the bay.
And I sailed away.
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn.
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along, along,
There'll be no more sobbing when he starts throbbing
His own sweet song.
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head,
Get up, get up, get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy.
What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walking through fields of flowers,
Rain may glisten, but I still listen for hours and hours.
I'm just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song,
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along.
There's a little bunch of sweetness,
That I long to call my bride.
And believe me I'm not happy,
Lest my baby's by my side.
Her baptismal name was Rosie,
But she put's the rose to shame.
And almost every night,
you'll here me call her name.
Chorus
Rosie, you are my posie,
you are my hearts bouquet,
Come out here in the moonlight,
There's something sweet love,
I wanna say.
Your honey boy I'm waiting,
Those ruby lips to greet
Don't be so captivating
My blushing rosie
My Posie sweet.
Rosie, you are my posie,
You are, my hearts bouquet
Come out, here in the moonlight
There's something sweet love.
I'm gonna sing about my baby,
Your honey, your boy I'm waiting
Those rubies, those lips to greet
Don't be so captivating,
My blushin rosie,
Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)
Al Jolson
Words by Ira Gershwin and Gus Kahn
Music by George Gershwin
A # 9 hit in 1929 for Al Jolson
Originally from the Broadway show "Show Girl" where it was sung by Nick Lucas
and danced by Ruby Keeler.
It later was sung by Jolson, dubbing for Larry Parks, in the 1946 film "the Jolson
Story."
Liza, Liza, skies are gray
But if you smile on me, all the clouds will roll away.
Liza, Liza, don't delay
Come keep me company, and the clouds will roll away.
See the honey moon a-shinnig down
We could make a date with Parson Brown.
So, Liza, Liza name the day
When you'll belong to me, and the clouds will roll away.

What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs.
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing this popular song
Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing, I'm happy, so happy.
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hearts that love in vain
And if my song can start you crying, I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues to lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy.
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick, I'm happy,
I'm happy.
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
I'm Sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Yes rolling along
And I'm Quitting the blues of the world
I'm Singing a song
Yes Sing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
I'm going to fall
I'm Sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Yes rolling along
Don't want any millions
I'm getting my share
I've only got one suit (one suit)
That's all I can wear
A bundle of money won't make you feel gay
A sweet little honey is making me say
I'm Sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Yes rolling along
And I'm Quitting the blues of the world
I'm Singing a song
Yes Sing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like humpty dumpty,
I'm going to fall
I'm Sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Wonderful pals are always hard to find
Some folks have one, some folks have none
And I was alone for years, but fate was kind
And in the end, sent me a friend
Although he's not much higher than my knee
Still he's the greatest thing on earth for me
Dirty hands! dirty face!
Leads the neighbors a chase
But his smile is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're a vision to see
And when my work is done
Coming home from the setting sun
At the gate he will start to run
And then I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands! dirty face!
Little devil, that's what they say
But to me he's an angel of joy
Dirty hands! dirty face!
Leads the neighbors a chase
But his smile, his little smile, is as cute as can be
Making noise, breaking toys
He's always fighting the boys
But his eyes, they're his Mother's
And they're a vision to me
And when my work is done
Coming home, coming home to the setting sun
From the gate he'll start to run
And then, ohh, I'll kiss my boy
Dirty hands! dirty face!
Little devil, that's what they say
Pack up all my cares and woe,
Here I go singing low:
Bye bye, blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she.
Bye bye, blackbird.
No-one here can love or understand me.
Oh, those hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight.
