It Happened In Monterey

It happened in Monterey, a long time ago;
I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico;
Stars and steel guitars, and luscious lips, as red as wine;
Broke somebody's heart, and I'm afraid that it was mine;
It happened in Monterey, without thinking twice;
I left her and threw away the key to paradise;
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart;
That I left in old Monterey.

Lovin' Sam

People call him Lovin’ Sam, He’s the Sheik of Alabam’;
He’s a mean love makin’, a heart breakin’ man;
And when the gals go strollin’ by, Boy! he rolls a wicked eye;
Does he step? Does he strut?
That’s what he doesn’t do nothin’ else but;
Could you love like Lovin’ Sam,You could have your eggs and ham;
In the finest kitchens down in Alabam’;
And tho’ he’s just a valet for horses, He’s causing lots of divorces
They all love Lovin’ Sam,The Sheik of Alabam’!

Wabash Blues

Oh, those Wabash Blues;
I know, I got my dues;
A lone-some soul am I;
I feel that I could die;
Candle light that gleams;
Haunts me in my dreams;
I’ll pack my walking shoes;
To lose those Wabash Blues.

My cutey's due at two to two, she's comin' through on a big choo-choo;
She's been away for months, but I haven't cheated once;
Stayed home nights, didn't dance, wasn't takin' any chance;
Didn't flirt, though it hurt, I just couldn't do my sweetie dirt;
My days were blue, my nights were black, but I just knew that she'd come back;
'Cause I love her and she loves me and say --
Don't say there ain't no Santa Claus, I know darn well there is because
My cutey's due at two to two today!

Ragtime, New Orleans Style Vol. 3
by Andrew Oliver
This is a masterpiece. A great selection of classic and lesser-known rags interpreted in the Jelly Roll Morton style. One of the best solo piano albums I have ever heard!
