The Jimmy Mc Hugh Story

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our summer show train with your host, Gordon Macray. The Association of American Railroads, the same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you've heard, and all the other things you use in your daily life, brings you the railroad summer show, starring Gordon Macray,

The New Field Norman, the sportsman, and the music of John Rarick and his orchestra. And here is your host, Gordon McRae. Well, thank you. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, the Association of American Railroad pays tribute to one of America's foremost popular songwriters.

A gentleman whose music has been right up there in the hit class year in and year out since about 1928. Mr. Jimmy McHugh. For someone before Thank you for the lovely flower That little cloud of yours Made it to me

Oh, it had, there ever was one If there ever was one with you To be true, scheming me for someone exactly like you It was back in 1928 when America started singing those songs and says, Composer, give me a cue.

And when the whole country went crazy over a song that went like this I can't give you anything but love, baby That's the only thing I have plenty of scheme of one, yours should have fine, happiness and I guess always fine for gee, I'd like to see it looking swell baby, diamond bracelets will worth dozen cells baby, on wear at law,

The day of Jimmy McHugh is the wonderful American Horatio Alger type success story. Jimmy started out as an office boy in the Boston Opera House at eight dollars a week. He had studied music and he was always hanging around after hours plunking at the piano.
