Sing You Sinners
This song was composed by W. Franke Harling, with lyrics by Sam Coslow in 1930. As you see on the sheet cover, it was also featured in a movie later called I’ll Cry Tomorrow. (The film has a fine original jazz score beside this.)
It has a rather dramatic verse, and as it happened, I changed the rhythm section after that.
Here are the lyrics:
You sinners drop ev'rything
Let dat harmony ring
up to Heaven and sing,
Sing, you sinners
Just wave your arms all about
Let the Lord hear you shout.
Pour dat music right out,
Sing you sinners.
Whenever there's music
The debil kicks,
He don't allow music
By dat river Styx,
You're wicked and your'e depraved
And you've all misbehaved
If you wanna be saved
Sing you sinners
