(1) Liza (2) (All the Clouds'll Roll Away) as played on You Tube. (The melody is easier to recognize in the second version.) You can also listen to Al Jolson sing (3) Liza if you want to hear how the words fit the melody. A lively rendition via violin can be heard and watched (4) here. And finally, I found a (5) guitar version for Janet, when she gets ready to learn it!
Moon shinin' on the river
Come along, my Liza!
Breeze singin' through the treetops
Come along, my Liza!
Somethin' mighty sweet I want to whisper sweet and low,
That you ought to know, my Liza!
I get lonesome, honey, When I'm all alone so long,
Don't make me wait,
Don't hesitate,
Come and hear my song:
Liza, Liza, skies are gray,
But if you'll smile on me
All the clouds'll roll away.
Liza, Liza, don't delay,
Come, keep me company,
And the clouds'll roll away.
See the honey-moon a-shinin' down;
We should make a date with Parson Brown.
So, Liza, Liza, name the day
When you belong to me
And the clouds'll roll away.
(Words by Gus Kahn and Ira Gershwin. Music by George Gershwin. Copyright 1929)
