Roy Eldridge

David Roy Eldridge (January 30, 1911 – February 26, 1989), nicknamed "Little Jazz" was an American jazz trumpet player. His sophisticated use of harmony, including the use of tritone substitutions, his virtuosic solos exhibiting a departure from the smooth and lyrical style of earlier jazz trumpet innovator Louis Armstrong, and his strong impact on Dizzy Gillespie mark him as one of the most influential musicians of the swing era and a precursor of bebop. more »

Don't the moon look lonesome shinin' thru the trees?
Don't the moon look lonesome shinin' thru the trees?
Don't your arms look lonesome when your baby back's up  to leave?
Well I'm goin' up on the mountain  to call that baby of mine 
Said I'm goin' up on the mountain  to call that baby of mine 

But something tells me he's not coming back this time

Would like to go to the country can't take you
I'm goin' up  to the country can't take you
Nothin' up there a man like you could do

He's got fins like a fish
Sheep  like a frog

When he loves me I hallo oh, hot dog
Love that man better than I do myself
But I'm all alone, all alone on the shelf, on the shelf
