[Dixielandjazz] Everybody don´t know / Lily of the Valley lyrics

[Scott Anthony]

Just a note about Rev. F. W. McGee:

Bob Helm told me that "50 Miles of Elbowroorm" was written or at least first 
performed by "Rev. McGee" in the 30s. I assume one in the same. Bob wrote 
the verse that he sings on the Murphy recordings.

The first  recording of Lily of the Valley with vocal was Rev.F.W. Mc Gee,
who sang one chorus "Everybody don´t know" (2x) "who Jesus is" (2x) - not
the "He´s the Lily of the Valley" part. The first recording with complete
vocal as far as I know was in George Lewis Oxford  Series part 12 with vocal
by Joe Watkins. Does anybody know any earlier recordings with vocal? I still
don´t know the origin of the refrain.

I have found 140 recordings of the "Traditional" Lily of the Valley. I guess
there are more! Please contact me off-list for a list of recordings!

A Happy New Year to all members
