Sweet lovin' man
Verse:
I've seen roses   rare.///   I've seen violets   blue.///
I've seen posies   beautiful,   morning glories   too,// but they
[All] just fade and   die// when my   sweet daddy   goes by.//

Chorus:
There's no flower that   can compare/   with my sweet lovin'   man,///
Take a look around   anywhere,/   find one if you   can.///
When he calls my honey and   speaks of love,/I
   feel my soul a-floatin' to the   land above./
He's the fondest   thing I [is] of/   He's my sweet lovin'
   man (sweet papa)  he's my sweet lovin'   man.///

> Anybody know if there are any lyrics to "Sweet Lovin' Man" by King Oliver.
>> Yes George Brunis sang the lyrics on Wild Bill's Cpmmoder recording.

> Dear Jack,
> You just beat me to it.
> However, to be pedantic as usual, it is not Wild Bill's recording,

> It is a (Melrose-Hardin) composition and George was on its first recorded

> King Oliver June 1923 version by several months.
> For Stubby,
> Finding a CD version of the Brunies Commodore version may be difficult.
> I can transcribe the words for you from my LP.
> But not today.
> It is not on YouTube, that I can find, but iTunes may have it. I haven't
