done come

Arranged by Billy Strange. Long out of print, but currently available via compilation.

The lyrics here are as irritatingly maudlin - and unintentionally hilarious - as Ervin Drake's "September of My Years", but Hazlewood's lowing burr elevates the performance into something genuinely affecting. The strings, though, almost blow it in the final bars.

Last orders. I wonder if Bernard Manning ever covered this in cabaret ?
