>Adrian has (in a folio) what is claimed to be the original 1928 sheet
music sans verse, which uses the word "el-ite" instead of "dark and
light" in the chorus. We would love to hear from someone with an
original copy dated 1928.

The verse "come along with me" etc is NOT original.  It's credited to Glenn 
Miller and/or Teagarden, and was added in about 1931 or so, the dates are 
reported in conflict quite often.  The original verse is merely a 12 bar 
blues.  One version of it (actually 2, one as a trumpet solo, one as a sax 
soli) is on the RCA "Best of Louis Armstrong".

Frankly, if I could get away with NOT doing the "come along with me" thing, 
I would.  I never have liked it, it just doesn't jive with the rest of the 
tune, in my mind.
