OK, first google "levy sheet music". Under the first hit that comes up, click "search the collection". In the first text box, enter "my little bimbo". Hit "enter". BOOM! You have a PDF you can download and then rename as you see fit, and also images of the score.
This is the ORIGINAL published sheet music, not some hack rip-off I saw on a "folk songs" website which claims it is "traditional" and then gets both the melody and the chords wrong! As you can see, this is a Walter Donaldson song.
The tune was composed by Walter Donaldson. The same man responsible for Yes Sir, That's My Baby, My Buddy and Makin' Whoopee in addition to many other hits. J. Russel was the pianist of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and composed the big hit Margie. He also worked as office manager for W.C. Handy's music company. Handy called him "The white boy that plays with colored fingers."
Nice rendition of one of my favorite songs! J. Russel was a swinging pianist, but even more important; I like his special inner lines and wonderful embellishment figures, which I feel are the key to a sucessful roll arrangment.
This would make excellent silent film music!

The piano dates from the early 1970s, but the roll was recorded by Robinson in 1920, I believe
