[Dixielandjazz] "Southern stomps" (vocal, not Oliver)

[David W. Littlefield]

Hi gang, specifically AUDREY. King Oliver recorded "Southern Stomps" 
in 1923 (his virgin is in my "DixFB V. 2"). In the Lib Of Cong's file 
of composer Richard M. Jones, I found the copyright submission, which 
is a mimeograph copy of the tune in standard sheet music format.

I addressed this in part to Audrey because the mimeo dropped one line 
of the lyrics. But the lyrics suggest that the tune might make be fun 
for a band with a good vocalist; instrumentally, the tune stands 
apart from Oliver's version.
I'm considering it for my "20s-30s Fake Book".

Here's the lyrics; if someone wants to try it, I'll send a .pdf of my 
lead sheet.

Southern stomps

Verse:
(First time I) Saw Hanna Snow dance at the   Stomp down below, she started
    wigglin' and gigglin' and spendin' her dough.|
When that piano,   starts playin', old Hanna takes the
    floor.///   // If Hanna
Stomps in Chicago, she'll wake you up in Balti-/
    more.///   // Most ev'ry-
Where you may go, you'l hear the   stompin' real low
    Until Hanna gets [hot] with her   tody & snow.|
Then she starts stompin'   so loud till ev'ry body
    blows.///   //Some day you'll
Hear from Hanna, someday she'll be
    stomping at the country   road.///  //||

Chorus:
(When Hanna)  Swings///   'round//. says Pro-
     'fessor make it snappy 'cause your   Mama's getting happy.
I feel like stomping,   can't keep my stompers   still.///   ////
I feel like stomping,   can't keep my stompers
    still.///   /// 'Cause [word missing]

----------------------------------
Sixty-third and Stony      where she rode a pony,
    then she [spied] her shadow,   wonder what's the matter
Then she took a notion   to ride on the ocean. When she
    stomped/ there,/   ev'rybody thought that she would
     drown.///   // When Hanna
Stomped///   stomped,// she
    made the ocean quiver, all the   fishes rose and shivered.
|They said to Hanna,   please don't disturb the   peace.///   ///
|If you don't stop it, we'll call the fish pol-   ice.///   //But Hanna
Kept on a stomping,   stomping the Southern   stomps.///   ////
