Words by G. A. Norton
Come sweetheart mine
Don't sit and pine,
Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue;
What have I done?
Answer me hon'
Have I ever said an unkind word to you?
My love is true,
And just for you
I'd do almost anything at any time
Dear when you sigh, or when you cry,
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine.
Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue;
All your fears are foolish fancy,
maybe, you know dear, that I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining,
Wait until the sun shines through,
Smile my honey dear, While I kiss away each tear,
Or else I shall be melancholy too.
Birds in the trees,
Whispering breeze,
Should not fail to lul you into peaceful dreams.
So tell me why,
Sadly you sigh
Sitting at the window where the pale moon beams,
You shouldn't grieve,
Try and believe,
Life is always sun shine when the heart beats true;
Be of good cheer,
Smile through your tears.
When your sad it makes me feel the same as you.
I remember when this song dropped and I got it on wax cylinder. Ah memories
gems like these..make me GRATEFUL to youtube.
exactly!
103 years later....still rocking
Yes 2024 ❤
Gonna blast this in my car
Omoplata1916 I listen to very old music from the 1910s and 1920s in my car all the time
After 100 years still there: BRAVO and thank you!
This is my great grandfather!
@@243david7 yes. My grandmother was his youngest daughter.
I cant speak on who first recorded it, i just know he signed with Edison and sang a lot of songs for him that were among the first recorded songs/recording artists. Theyre also in the Edison museum archives if im not mistaken.
You should be very proud
Wonderful post. Great to listen to this great song in it's .entirety.
Thank you for sharing this gem.
100 years ago... Wow :)
A great song sung by a great star of that era
Wonderful..
Love it!
Wonderful! In so many ways. The later versions omit the second intro and instead go right into the chorus again.
I wonder, did cars have radios in 1915?
Amazing. Thank You
Amazing Singing voice Wow
Recorded in October 1914.
wow,does anyone notice this is before the 1st. world war? wow,music had a meaning back then..things that were happening in the world...
First world war started in 1914
This is in my recommendation... Wow
This is the stuff Conan is always singing

Wasn't familiar with this version or where it came from.
Thoughtful to also include the lyrics -despite the fact they don't even show up on many platforms, some of us do bother reading all of that.

Wu Tang album just sold can't be heard by the public for 100 years, so I wonder if they will sound just as sad and corny as fuck or will that bitch still be considered banging!?! Sucks I will be long gone by then as I am putting my money on it people will still be banging too it! :)

Is Melancholy baby a tin own alley song?
Came here because of James Cagney movie Roaring 20's
Good film Cagney and Bogart - can I recommend Al Bowlly's version - both on record and film
wow,I wonder what kind of life did this gentleman had...
He wasnt a bank robber 😂 he was my great grandfather
@@braysnyder24 Are you aware of the Hobbies Magazine biographical article [on Walter Van Brunt AKA Walter Scanlon] that appeared many years ago, written by Jim Walsh? Walsh provided a detailed article of your ancestor. After 1920, he was better known as Walter Scanlon (he officially changed his name to Scanlon , ca. 1942 although he had been using that name professionally since the 1920s). He was the last pioneer Edison wax cylinder artist to pass (in 1971). had a beautiful tenor voice - early recordings he sounded quite a bit like Billy Murray - who he made many duets with in the late 1920s-early 1930s. "Uncle Josh"
@Nicholas Ennos not hardly. He lost most of whatever money he had to his first wife when she sued for divorce because the judge thought him immoral or having left her and living with another woman.
When’s his next concert?
Probably never
@@leovidmc Probably never -so there is a chance
this is for my assignment
Filtered to death. Sounds as if Walter and the orchestra are underwater.
Nice. It makes me think about BioShock Infinite
I came here.because of that scary movie:Ouija,origin of evil.The.movie is alright,but this song called my attention.
Came here from the movie The Roaring Twenties
sounds like it was recorded on a wax cylinder - does any one know?
Lul
Who knew Elton John could sing so high?
When music was made for the pure joy of it.
