Some Of These Days 1911 (Wax Cylinder) (исполнитель: Sophie Tucker)
As performed by Sophie Tucker, 1911 recording:
Two sweethearts courted happily for quite a while,
'Midst simple life of country folk,
When the lad told girlie he must go away.
Her little heart with grief 'most broke.
Well, she said, "You know I love you, honey; I love you, honey, best
of all.
So don't go away."
Just as he went to go, it grieved the girlie so
These words he heard her say:
"Some of these days,
Oh, you'll miss me honey
Some of these days,
You're gonna feel so lonely
You're gonna miss my huggin',
You're gonna miss my kissin'.
You're gonna miss me honey when I'm far away.
I feel so lonely, just for you only.
You know honey, I've let you have your way!
And when you leave me,
I know t'will grieve me
You'll miss your little (SCATTING?),
baby, some of these days!"
The little girlie, feeling blue said "I'll go too,
And show him two can play this game."
When her honey heard this melancholy news,
why he quickly came back home again.
But when he reached her house
He found his girl had gone.
So down [bad word] to the train
While it was pulling out,
He heard his girlie shout
This loving, sweet refrain:
"Some of these days,
You'll miss me honey!
Some of these days,
You'll feel so lonely!
You're gonna feel so lonely
You're gonna miss my huggin',
You're gonna miss my kissin'.
You're gonna miss me honey when I'm far away.
I feel so lonely, just for you only.
You know honey, I've let you have your way!
And when you leave me,
I know t'will grieve me
Gonna miss your little (SCATTING?),
baby, some of these days!"
(The word "scatting" above is likely to be incorrect - this part
of the recording (to a brown wax Eddison cylinder) was difficult to
transcribe due to poor sound quality.)
