My Sunny Tennessee lyrics
My Sunny Tennessee lyrics, by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Herman Ruby – (from the musical Three Little Words starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)
When the shades of night are falling
Tennessee, I hear you calling;

Back to home, sweet home.

Of the folks I left down yonder;

Where Did You Get That Girl lyrics
Where Did You Get That Girl lyrics — words by Bert Kalmar, music by Harry Puck, 1913
(sung in Three Little Words, starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)

of a swell cafe, eating his heart away
because he had no girl,
at another table, sat a girl named Mable
with a fellow who Johnnie knew and his brain began to whirl
The girl had caught his eye and John began to cry.
