Billy Murray - I Wish I Had a Girl download song

Great pop music began with the songwriters of the late 19th century and early 20th century and died with Oasis.

perfect song for valentine's day

This song is so cute.

Lyrictext These days every fellow has a sweetheart Seems that every girlie has a beau Gee i'd be glad if i only had Someone to tell me i love you so I'd like to do some kiss in and some hugging Some crooning and some spooning too i guess But no matter how i strive Folks don't know that i'm alive And i fear i'm going to die of lonesomeness Gee, i wish that i had a girl like the other fellows had Someone to make a fuss over me To cheer me up when i feel sad On Sunday night i'm all alone When i ought to be up at some sweetheart's home And i'm lonesome, awful lonesome Gee i wish i had a girl There are times when i get fairly started With some girlie who looks good to me But i can't win 'cause someone butts in And then it looks like they meant twenty-three It seems that i just can't get up a system My sighing and my trying's all in vain Cruel fate spoils every plan 'Cause i'm not a ladies man And a lonely creature i'll always remain Gee, i wish that i had a girl like the other fellows had Someone to make a fuss over me To cheer me up when i feel sad On Sunday night i'm all alone When i ought to be up at some sweetheart's home And i'm lonesome, awful lonesome Gee i wish i had a girl

What is particularly disconcerting is that the great Billy Murray's recorded legacy includes literally thousands of tracks. Yet only a small percentage of them remain in print. He was arguably the single most impacting figure in recorded music during the first quarter of the 20th century, and I would contend that distinction could well be applied to his impact over the first half of the century, as well. Genius of the highest order. I would have loved to meet him and/or see him in concert.

can't handle the feels

I have this song recorded by Frank C Stanley and by Billy Murray

This is from the year the Titanic's keel was laid down! J

Someone to make a fuss over me... I wish I had a girlie who looks good to me.

I REALLY HATE modern music of the 21th century. It’s horrible noise without meaning. I be very tierd of modern dunk dunk music. I not understand a word of what they sing in hitlists music of to day and I don’t know what the songs are about. I be scared of it. Billy is much easier to understand. On his time he was the singer in the world who sang most clearly of all singers. Thank you Billy.

I thought this was going to be the song; "I Wish I Had A Girl Like The One That Married Good 'Ole Dad." But, it wasn't...I had never heard it until today. Thank You, Judith White, for sharing it in your monthly newsletter... :)

Gee, I like this because it brings memories of my grandparents. Gramp used to sing this song when I lived with them.
