RIP Nellie Lutcher

[Paul Mackin]

Since it's a fairly slow day I can't resist posting the lyrics to  
Nellie Letcher's best
song. A favorite of mine. Up there with the coffee song

P


Hurry on down to my house, honey,
Aint nobody home but me.
Hurry on down to my house, baby.
Oh, Im blue as I can be.
I love you. you love me.
A-hurry through the alley
So the neighbors dont see.
Hurry on down to my house, honey,
Aint nobody home but me. oooh.

Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Aint nobody home but me.
Hurry on down to my house, baby.
Im blue as I can be.

Oh, blue when the clock a-went
Tick-tock-tick.
Ooh, cmon, honey, quick, quick, quick.
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Aint nobody home but me.

Say, hurry, hurry, a-nobodys home.
Hurry on down, baby,
Im blue as I can be.
Oh, please come down
Just as soon as you can.
If you dont come down,
I got to call sam!
You know the man is crazy about me.
Aint nobody home but me . . . ow!

Well, whats goin on with the three of yous? cmon, cmon, make it  
snappy. cmon, cmon, work out, work out! go, babe, get down, get down!  
oh, lord! nobodys home!

Say, hurry on down to my house, baby,
Aint nobody home.
Haul it down, drag it down,
Any way to get it down.
Im blue as I can be.
Ashes-to-ashes. dust-to-dust.
Cmon, honey, you must, you must!
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Aint nobody home but me.

Hurry, hurry. a-nobodys home.
Haul it down and drag it down.
You know I cant stand to be alone.
Operator, get me hillside, 409.
A-dont stop ringin
til you get that babys line!
Hes gonna haul it down!
Aint nobody home but, you believe it,
Theres nobody home but me! wo!
