Sweet Lorraine - Original - Sidney Bechet

Ev’rything is set, skies are blue

Can’t believe it yet, but it’s true

I’ll give you just one guess

My sweet Lorraine said «Yes;»

Waiting for the time, soon to be

When the bells will chime merrily

(I'm so happy,)When it’s raining I don’t miss the sun

For it’s in my sweeties smile

Just think that I’m the lucky one

Who will lend her down the aisle;

Each night I pray

That nobody steals her heart away

Just can’t wait until that happy day

When I mary sweet Lorraine

Ev’rything is set, skies are blue

Can’t believe it yet, but it’s true

I’ll give you just one guess

My sweet Lorraine said «Yes;»

Waiting for the time, soon to be

When the bells will chime merrily

(I'm so happy,)When it’s raining I don’t miss the sun

For it’s in my sweeties smile

Just think that I’m the lucky one

Who will lend her down the aisle;

Each night I pray

That nobody steals her heart away

Just can’t wait until that happy day

When I marry sweet Lorraine
