No one to talk with All by myself No one to walk with I'm happy on the shelf Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you Mama, I know for certain The one I love Through with flirtin' Just you that I'm thinkin' of Misbehavin' Savin' my love for you Hmm, like Jack Horner In the corner Don't go nowhere What do I care? All your kisses Worth waitin' for, believe me I don't stay out late Don't care to go Home about eight Me and my radio Misbehavin', savin' love for you

The Last Rose of Summer: 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rosebud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! To pine on the stem; Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them. Thus kindly I scatter, Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow, When friendships decay, And from Love's shining circle The gems drop away. When true hearts lie withered, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone? Darling Nellie Gray: There's a low,green valley, on the old Kentucky shore. Where I've whiled many happy hours away, A-sitting and a-singing by the little cottage door, Where lived my darling Nelly Gray. Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away, And I'll never see my darling any more; I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day. For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore. When the moon had climbed the mountain and the stars were shining too. Then I'd take my darling Nelly Gray, And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe, While my banjo sweetly I would play. One night I went to see her, but "She's gone!" the neighbors say. The white man bound her with his chain; They have taken her to Georgia for to wear her life away, As she toils in the cotton and the cane. My canoe is under water, and my banjo is unstrung; I'm tired of living any more; My eyes shall look downward, and my song shall be unsung While I stay on the old Kentucky shore. My eyes are getting blinded, and I cannot see my way. Hark! there's somebody knocking at the door. Oh! I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nelly Gray. Farewell to the old Kentucky shore. Oh, my darling Nelly Gray, up in heaven there they say, That they'll never take you from me any more. I'm a-coming-coming-coming, as the angels clear the way, Farewell to the old Kentucky shore!

Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine. Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sip, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much hon'ring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be; But thou thereon did'st only breathe, And sent'st it back to me, Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but thee.

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you

about

This collection of Wally at the piano contains some of his favorite songs along with some classic, but less familiar songs. Many of these came from a music book printed in 1913, that his daughter-in-law gave him as a gift. Upon receiving the book, he was thrilled to find and play old melodies he had enjoyed as a youth, including German songs which his mother had sung at home: The Loreley, and The last Rose of Summer.

These songs were recorded at family gatherings from 1989 to 1997. We hope you enjoy Wally's happy style at the piano. A friend of ours and Walter's who has visited from Switzerland once commented, "Listening to Walter's music is like going into a different, better world." We hope you will enjoy immersing yourself in Wally's world of music.
