Perry Como Lyrics

    ------ About the song Dreamer's Holiday performed by Perry Como

I remember this song when I was a child, I loved the lyrics, and never could remember all of them, so "thank you" for having them here. I think my grand children will like the lyrics too!

    ------ About the song Kentucky Babe performed by Perry Como

Wonderful song and heartwarming lyrics. I learned this song in 1960 in my music class. Miss Ellen Dudley was a wonderful music teacher and conductor to us girls. I sang with the choralees,as we were called. The song was sweet and haunting with the humming and the ole sounds of a mammie singing to her Kentucky babe. I remembered it through the years and sang it to my sons and my granddaughter who is a Kentucky girl.
My oldest son sang it to her and still remembers it to this day--He is 43 and loves it to this day. My ole rockin chair would creek as I hummed and sang it to my boys as I sang to them every night at bedtime.
I remember singing this to my granddaughter when we brought her home from shortley after she was born--I didn't know while I was rocking her and singin this song , my son was sitting on the stair case below me listening and was smiling at me when I had gotten my granddaughter to sleep--the sweet smile on his face and him telling me how he remembered me singing this song to him as a little boy was so sweet and touching.
Well, this song is timeless and just wish more mommies and mammies sang and hummed it to their little ones. I still humm it to myself and close my eyes and remember those sweet days rocking my boys as babies.
I remember The Perry Como show and his wonderful smooth and calming voice.
and also him singing this ole Kentucky lullabye.Although my old singing class made more of an inpac on me with all the voices and of course Miss Dudley making it sound like an ole negro spiritual lullabye . You could almost see the skeeters humming round the honeysuckle vine and the sleeping babe. What a great memory!!

    ------ About the song When You and I Were Young, Maggie performed by Perry Como

This is one of the few songs that move me to tears when I try to sing it. I had a favorite aunt named Margaret and have a sister named Margaret. Maggie, to me, is a beautiful name and this is a beautiful song.

    ------ About the song Kentucky Babe performed by Perry Como

My best friend in fourth grade, Alice Bagley, and I sang this song in the fourth grade school program. Alice sang the lead and I sang alto. It was my first time to sing alto. The second grade teacher helped me to harmonize. I was so glad to find the lyrics again, as I had forgotten most of the words. Thank you for publishing them on this site. My friend Alice died two years later and this song means a lot to me.

    ------ About the song Kentucky Babe performed by Perry Como

Like so many others, my mother sang this to me and I have sung it to my daughers, and grandchildren. I remember a verse, Boogeyman will get you sure unles you close your eyes. Standing right outside your door to catch you by surprise, best be keeping shady, little colored lady, close your eyes and sleep. Probably not politically correct anymore, but I never had any picture in my head other than a loving mother with her baby.

    ------ About the song Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba ( My Bambino Go to Sleep ) performed by Perry Como

I always remember after a visit to my grandma's, my dad would drive the car and mom would hold me in her arms and sing this song. My mom also sang it to her grandchildren when they were babies. I have sung it to my kids, nieces, nephews and so on. My daughter says she can't wait to have kids and sing it to the. To me, even if you don't sing or hear the right lyrics, it is not a lullaby but a love song from a mother to her baby.

    ------ About the song Kentucky Babe performed by Perry Como

My father used to sing this lullaby to me as a baby (1973). He had forgotten the tune and lyrics through the years. I was finally able to buy a couple versions (Gene Autry & Maxine Sullivan) via iTunes and learn and sing it to my fourth child. The older children have since learned it and will sing along while singing the baby to sleep. I surprised him when on a video chat one night I started to sing it. It was a source of comfort for him while his mother was dying. He said my singing reminded him of hearing her singing it.
Happy to see others hold this song so special.
