"TELL HER AT TWILIGHT" - Yerkes' S.S. Flotilla Orchestra (1922)

TELL HER AT TWILIGHT - Fox Trot
(Just Sing Love's Sweet Song)
(Will Donaldson)
Played by Yerkes' S.S. Flotilla Orchestra
Vocalion B-14284, 1922.
Leave it to the Yerkes' S.S. Flotilla Orchestra ("My Sunny Tennessee", "Stop, Rest Awhile")to play this gentle love song as a catchy, fast fox trot. There is a slower, more romantic version recently uploaded on the channel of Victrola Fix, that I would imagine is closer to the original score. The sheet music was published in 1921 and the song was introduced by John Steele.
Thanks to Betty for this record from her collection!
"Tell her at twilight,
While dusk is falling,
When birds are calling.
Whisper to her
That's the time to sweetly woo her.
In your arms, press her;
Gently caress her.
When the lights are low
In the twilight's glow,
Just sing love's sweet song."
