Waltzing my Maile
Waltzing my Maile
Once a jolly Texan found himself in Wahiawa
Under the shade of a tall banyan tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his girl was borne
"Will you come a waltzing, my Maile, with me?"
Waltzing my Maile. Waltzing my Maile.
You'll come a waltzing my Maile with me.
And he sang as watched and waited for his baby girl,
"You'll come a waltzing, my Maile, with me."
Down came a married girl, dressed in all her finery
And down came her daddy, to dance once last time.
And he cried as he sang, his tears falling joyfully,
"Will you came a waltzing, my Maile, with me?"
Waltzing my Maile, Waltzing my Maile.
Will you come a waltzing, my Maile, with me?
And he cried as he watched,
His grown up girl all married now,
"Who'll come a waltzing, my Maile, with me?"

    So much fun. My dad was a detective , and I think you have down pat that understated, phlegmatic, world-weary demeanor. Love it.

    I was there the day Butch jumped off the roof even though my memory is fuzzy after these years. He has always been unafraid to take a leap in life and that is what I admire about him. Thanks for the dedication. Always your friend

    Somewhere you asked for requests. How about The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett, The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, Casablanca by Murray Burnett (I think). Any of those ring a bell for you? Then there's Mike Hammer. I'm sure I can come up with more suggestions. It's going to be a long winter. I've gone through the local libraries like a locust. I threw my TV out 20 years ago, and currently have no computer. It's just me and my smartphone here in the woods, and I'm loving your videos. You keep makin' 'em, and I'll keep watchin' 'em! And thank you!

    I love the ambience of your office. That old black fan in the background has metal blades. Try to find such a thing around anymore! They were still pretty common when I was young -- I'm 76. Your videos take me back. I love them! Thank you!

I am not religious at all but this song sung in this version is just awesome. Does this version exist on Spotify??? If not please get these guys to record this and put it on Spotify.
