Billy Murray and Aileen Stanley - It Had To Be You (1924)

[Sarah3984]

I want to sing this version as a duet, but I cannot find the lyrics anywhere. I got most of them but some some I can't understand!

Alileen- "Oh, I don't know, I worry and ______." @ 1:11

Billy - "Could make me true." and then Aileen says something I can't understand. @ 2:04

I think I got everything else, at least it is close enough. I love this song!

@Sarah3984 @ 1:11 "I worry and grieve" @ 2:04 "knew i'd be true" I guess

I've never heard this version of this wonderful old song before. It's terrific! ( It's, also, the earliest rendition, to date, that I've heard.) I thoroughly enjoyed it! I hope you do, as well. DMM

Listening to Billy and Aileens' version of this song suddenly reminded me of the way Dean Martin and Judy Holiday pattered with one another in 1960 in the big finale of Just in Time in Bells are Ringing.

I wonder where these alternate lyrics came from?

They're different from every other version of the song I've heard.

Thanks for providing the background as well as the audio. I enjoy learning about vaudevillian performers and the era, itself.

An alternate text. See/hear the Marion Harris version, available at another site.
