Indiana Beach 1953 someone played this song all day on every jute box. She must of have had a lot of nickles.

I grew up with Somethin' Smith and the Redheads in the '50s. I've been looking for a copy of the LP my parents had ever since search engines became semi-reliable; I'm SO happy to find this! It sure takes me back - thanks ever so!

Ray Conniff was their arranger/conductor at Columbia back then.

I put this back on my 1955 playlist to replace the 'unavailable' copy and youtube now forces me to use their 'chrome' browser or I'm forbidden to edit my playlists !!!

My 450 playlists feature over 300 artists and a list for every year since 1900 so you can listen like you've stepped back in time.

If she leads me to the altar, then I'm sunk

cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk

So Lord have mercy on a no 'count sinner

Give me one more chance to let another guy win 'er

Cross my heart and I hope to die

I'll never, never, EVER tell another white lie. " saludos Marcelo

Marcelo:Te agradecí ayer tu envío pero hoy no aparece mi nota, entonces te lo reitero. Un abrazo:Juan Carlos

Charlesnorte te mando la letra "Cross my heart and I hope to die

I'll never, never, ever tell another white lie

Took a little doll out on a date last night

Next to her, *Gravel Gertie* would have looked all right

Now I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea

'cause I said "Baby, you look good to me"

I told her I loved her but, oh, how I lied

And now she's gettin' set to be my blushin' bride...

Mr. Short let me tell you that I' so proud to have your coment; I'm a fan of Somethin' Smith & The Redheads since 1975 when I found a 78 rpm record that was bought by my father in 1955, of course it was "It's a sin to tell a lie"; it was a big succes here in my country Argentina. Please tell me your email 'cause I want to know more of you. Bye Marcelo

Marcelo: Te escribo desde La Plata, necesito conseguir la letra completa de esta versión. Hay una parte que dice "cross my hart"..... que no la encuentro en la original. Te agradeceré que me digas cómo. Gracias

My name is Major Short. On this video I am the person playing the bass. That picture was taken many months ago. I am now 85. I have no precise idea when or where these shots were taken but we were obviously in a TV studio some time in the late fifties.

[charlesnorte]

Thank Mr. Short for your music. I´m now 69 but we remember and enjoyed your songs from the end the fifties . Please I need the lyric of "it´s a sin... ", because your version is more extensive than the original. Chrismas Greetings from Argentina and my best wishes for the next year. JUAN CARLOS

The PBS station in Milwaukee WI (MPTV) plays the '50s Guy Lombardo show on Sunday afternoon and today your group was on as a guest (Edie Adams was also a guest). The stills on this post look exactly like the Lombardo show set up.

@conklin261 Hello Mr. Short! How are you? Fine? We hope yes! Is very important to know for us, because you records we´ll never forget you. Thanks for your melodies. Greetings from Argentina again!
