about

Words and Music by Gene Austin and Roy Bergere.

"How Come You Do Me Like You Do?" became a national hit in 1924 for Marion Harris.

lyrics

How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I ain’t done nothing to you!

You might be the meanest man in town,
But I’m just mean enough to turn your damper down.
How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?

How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I ain’t done nothing to you.

I'm gonna lay your head down on that railroad line,
Lest a train should come along to pacify your mind.
How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?

I've got a shovel, and and before I'm done
If you haven't got a home, I'm gonna give you one!
How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?

How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I ain’t done nothing to you.

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
I bet it all on '24 and don't care if I bust, now!
How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?

I found these skeletons, these sweet old songs;
Father time just keeps on ticking, so come on and dane along with me!
How come you do me like you do-do-do?
How come you do me like you do?

Jared Emerson-Johnson's One-Man Skeleton Revival San Francisco, California

Born out of pandemic lockdown madness, Jared Emerson-Johnson's One-Man Skeleton Revival began as an experiment in jug band overdubbing that blossomed into an album celebrating some of the best tunes written, recorded, and/or published in 1924. Originally intended as a personal project for friends and family, the end result came out well enough to deserve a public release...maybe. ... more
