Artist: Edith D'Amara & Weintraubs Syncopators
Author: Anton Profes/Robert Gilbert
Label: Kristall
Year: 1929
Weintraubs Syncopators first cut an instrumental version (for Electrola) but it's the lyrics (and a female touch) that make this song work.
Covers:
Willy Derby [as Des Zondags Wil Ik Met M'n Liefste Zeilen Gaan]
André Goavec & Rose Carday [in operette L'Auberge du Cheval Blanc as Je vous emmènerai sur mon joli bateau]
Old Merry Tale Jazzband [top 5 GER; that same year an eponymous film came out in Germany]
Ev und Billy [hit GER]
Beatles [on bootleg Private Tapes Vol 1; they probably picked it up, film and/or hit, while in Hamburg]
