(WITH YOU ON MY MIND) I CAN'T WRITE THE WORDS
(Buddy Fields / Gerald Marks)


The Boswell Sisters (with The New Yorkers) - 1931
Johnny Hamp & His Orch. (vocal: Chick Bullock) - 1931
Lew Stone & The Monseigneur Band (vocals: Al Bowlly) - 1932





Summer breezes (Mmmm-Mmmm)
Birds and beezes (Mmmm-Mmmm)
With you on my mind I find I can't write the words

Eyes of blue (Lah-lah-lah-lee)
Red lips too (Lah-lah-lah-lee)
With you on my mind I find I can't write the words

I used to dream of a Spanish castle
It smacks of real love, a Spanish castle
I got a rhyme for a Spanish castle
Grass'll grow around the castle

Stars above you (Dah-dah-dee)
Dear, I love you (Dah-dah-dee)
With you on my mind I find I can't write the words
