Lena Corinne "Lee" Morse (née Taylor; November 30, 1897 – December 16, 1954) was an American jazz and blues singer-songwriter, composer, guitarist, and actress. Morse's greatest popularity was in the 1920s and early 1930s as a torch singer, although her career began around 1917 and continued until her death in 1954.
Morse was known for her strong, deep singing voice and vocal range, which often belied her petite frame. She possessed a contralto vocal range, and one of her trademarks was her unique style of yodeling. Recording over 200 songs over her career, Morse was one of the most recorded female singers of the 1920s. She was also moderately successful as an actress on the Broadway stage. Her life and career, however, were marred by alcoholism. Morse's' group the Blue Grass Boys had no relation neither to their later namesake of Bill Monroe nor bluegrass music.
Although Morse's Broadway prospects had dimmed by the 1930s, she could still be seen in a number of musical film shorts, including A Million Me's (Paramount, April 25, 1930), The Music Racket (Vitaphone, June 30, 1930), and Song Service (Paramount, October 24, 1930).
Morse was born Lena Corinne Taylor on November 30, 1897 in Cove, Oregon.
Morse died on December 16, 1954 in Rochester while visiting a neighbor. She was 57 years old. She is interred at the Riverside Cemetery.

Lyrics:
The more I roam about,
The more I dream about a rainbow,
Just hoping that a rainbow
Might soon appear.
I'd walk a million miles
To find the kind o' smiles that I know
Would bring a golden rainbow
And skies so clear.
Although I try I really get nowhere,
Sometime I'm hoping that I'll get somewhere!
There must be a silver lining
That's shining for me.
There must be a way of finding
A message of sympathy.
Just a little coo from the bluebird
Would make a new bird right out of me!
There must be a silver lining
That's shining for me.
There must be a silver lining
That's always shining for me.
There must be a way of always finding
A message of sympathy.
Just a little coo from the bluebird
Would make a new bird right out of me, poor little me!
There must be a silver lining
That's always shining for me.
