Buddy Holly Oh, Boy! Lyrics:
All o' my love, all o' my kissin',
You don't know what you been a-missin'.
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, when a-you're with me,
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, the world can see,
That you were a-meant for me.
All o' my life I been a-waitin',
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'.
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, when a-you're with me,
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, the world can see,
That you a-were meant for me.
Stars appear an' the shadows are fallin',
You can hear my heart a-callin'.
A little bit of lovin' makes everything a-right,
I'm gonna see my baby tonight.
All o' my love, all o' my kissin',
You don't know what you been a-missin'.
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, when a-you're with me,
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, the world can see,
That you were a-meant for me.
Ohhhhh!!!!
(Dum-diddle-dee, dum-dum, oh, boy.)
(Dum-diddle-dee, dum-dum, oh, boy.)
[Instrumental break with vocal stylings.]
All o' my love, all o' my kissin',
You don't know what you been a-missin'.
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, when a-you're with me,
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, the world can see,
That you were a-meant for me.
All o' my life I been a-waitin',
Tonight there'll be no hesitatin'.
(Oh, boy), oh, boy, when a-you're with me,
(Oh, boy), Oh, boy, the world can see,

[Performed by [2] : Buddy Holly [1] & the Crickets [3] -1958]

Story (Coral-LP)-1959, The Very Best of Buddy Holly (MCA Int'l)-2004 &

The Definitive Story-2005, et al.]
[1] In 1959, with a new and pregnant wife, Holly decided to earn some quick
money by signing on to play in the Winter Dance Party package tour of the
midwest. It was on that tour that Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "Big
Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash, on February 3, 1959.]
[2] When Buddy Holly & the Crickets broke through nationally in 1957, they
were marketed by Decca Records under two different subsidiaries, Brunswick
and Coral. Essentially there was no real musical distinction between the
two, except perhaps that the "Crickets" sides had more prominent backup
vocals. The Crickets themselves consisted of Bob Montgomery (guitars &
song-writing), Larry Welborn (upright base) and Jerry Allison (drums &
song-writing) for instrumentation, and the "Picks," as they were known,
doing vocal overdubs for 9 songs on The "Chirping Crickets" album. The
"Picks," John Pickering (tenor), Bill Pickering (tenor) and Bob Lapham
(baritone), were not billed separately until a 1986 compilation.
Unfortunately, the 1978 film, "The Buddy Holly Story," perpetuated myths
by showing the instrumental Crickets singing. The albums The "Chirping"
Crickets (1957) and the self-titled album, Buddy Holly (1958), were the
only new albums featuring Holly to be released during his lifetime.
Every subsequent album was an archival or posthumous collection.]
