Without A Song

Without A Song

(V.Youmans / B.Rose / E.Eliscu)


New Mayfair Orchestra

(Rages Of Radioland - Part 1. Tracks are: Great day / Same as we used to be do / Without a song / Sunny days)

Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is (darkies)born but he's no good no how
Without a song
I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will roll
And I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes that grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song
