Just wondered if anyone has the music (top line and chords) for the song titled "You belong to me" I think it was a big hit for Patsy Cline, the lyrics start:

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin' all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in Old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

Kind regards to all on the forum, many thanks for any help with the above.

Peter

Hi Peter,
First the good news,I've got the song.
Now the bad news, it's in an album so old and travelled that its falling apart,and bits are missing, but if no one else finds it in the next couple of days I think,beween
Mel and myself we can work out how the middle bit went and send it to you.
By the way I think the hit was Jo Stafford, not Patsy Cline
Regards
Eddie

Hi again Peter,
Looks like Joan beat me to it, so Mel and I can stop arguing about how the middle goes.( phew, no divorce this week )
Regards
Eddie

1952 hit for Jo Stafford, either 6 or 10 weeks, at number one. I have the original music,one shilling and six pence, or 7 1/2P
I'll let someone else convert to US money!!!! Walter.

Hi Walter
Not a bad guess It was in the charts from 14th Nov 1952 for 19 weeks. It mde it to No.1 for the week commencing 16th Jan 1953 for 1 week and was the first British Hit Single by a female.
Cost around 14cents
The lyrics for the 'middle bit' are:

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue

and the other verse is:-

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

John

Hi There Peter - I hope someone has sent you this music - I was certain that I had it and posted this morning that I would send it to you later today. On looking through my wonderful listings of songs etc., I realised that I hadn't got it!!! Within 10mins of my original posting I quickly came back into this topic and deleted my post to you. It looks as if I wasn't quick enough!!!

SO- if you do get a copy of it then I would love to receive one also!!! Joan
