Conway Twitty - I Need You So

Country music star Harold Lloyd Jenkins made up his artist name looking at a road map : Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. This song appears on a "massive eight-disc, 192-track collection, collecting every track from an eight-year period encompassing 1956 to 1964" that was released in 1997 and I couldn't find any lyrics (but they aren't very difficult to figure out)

Millie Small - My Boy Lollipop

By request, Jamaican singer Millicent "Millie" Small with her '63 hit My Boy Lollipop :







And the original performed by Barbie Gaye




My boy Lollipop, you made my heart go giddy up.
You are as sweet as candy, you're my sugar dandy.
Ha, ho my boy Lollipop,
Never ever leave me,
Because it would grieve me,
My heart told me so,
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya so,
That I want ya to know,
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya so,
And I'll never let you go,
My boy Lollipop,
You make my heart go giddy up,
You set my world on fire, you are my one desire,
My boy Lollipop, my boy Lollipop.
