Tune Title: "I Found a New Baby"

The fabulous Ophelia Orchestra from Oslo, Norway appeared for an evening concert during the annual Blind Boone Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival held in Columbia, Missouri in early June of 2010.

Their music is magical! I was very happy to have been able to capture them on video and in stereo. And, as good as this one is, they sound even better on their professionally recorded CD's. Check their website above for a full list of available recordings.

Ethel Waters' lyrics to "I Found a New Baby" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Everybody look at me,
Happy girlie, you will see,
I've got someone nice, oh, gee!
Oh, joy, what bliss!

Just the treasure that I need,
Pure as gold and guaranteed,
Is he handsome? Yes, indeed!
Let me tell you this:

I found a new baby,
A sweet honey boy;
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!

His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave;
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!

Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!

I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall;
I found a new baby,
A new baby, that's all!

I found a new baby,
A sweet honey boy;
My fashion-plate baby
Has thrilled me with joy!

His new way of lovin'
Has made me his slave;
His sweet turtle dovin'
Is all that I crave!

Sweetest kiss, what a kiss, full of bliss, can't resist, somehow!
Tells me lies, but he's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize, I vow and how!

I don't mean maybe,
I just had to fall;
I found a new baby,
A new baby, that's all!
