Sarah Vaughan - I Cover The Waterfront (Live At Mister Kelly's Chicago) EmArcy Records 1957

"I Cover the Watefront" is a 1933 popular song and jazz standard composed by Johnny Green with lyrics by Edward Heyman. The song was inspired by Max Miller's 1932 best-selling novel I Cover the Waterfront. The song became instantly popular, and many artists covered it in 1933: Annette Hanshaw, Abe Lyman's California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra, Billie Holiday, Connie Boswell, and Louis Armstrong, among others. A 1933 motion picture, also inspired by Miller's book and also titled I Cover the Waterfront, was re-scored at the last minute to include the tune. Sheet music publishers later used the film's success by claiming that the song was inspired by the United Artist Picture of the same name".

"At Mister Kelly's" is a 1957 live album by American jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, recorded at Mister Kelly's jazz club in Chicago. The Allmusic review by John Bush awarded the album four and a half stars and said that At Mister Kelly's captures Vaughan at her "best and most relaxed", stating that "her unerring sense of rhythm carries her through every song on this set, whether the occasion calls for playfulness and wit ("Thou Swell," "Honeysuckle Rose") or a world-wise melancholia ("Willow Weep for Me")". Bush also praises Jimmy Jones and Roy Haynes.

Sarah's accompanied by Jimmy Jones (piano), Richard Davis (bass) & Roy Haynes (drums). Recorded in Chicago, Illinois, August 6-8, 1957. (EmArcy Records)

I cover the waterfront
Just for you my darling
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
Oh I'm covered by
A starlit sky above

Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn
Where are you
Are you forgetting
Will you remember
Will you return

I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
To me
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
