Margie (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Margie", also known as "My Little Margie", is a 1920 popular song composed in collaboration by vaudeville performer and pianist Con Conrad and ragtime pianist J. Russel Robinson, a member of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Lyrics were written by Benny Davis, a vaudeville performer and songwriter. The song was introduced by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1920 as Victor 78, 18717-A, in a medley paired with "Singin' the Blues". The B side was "Palesteena".[1] The ODJB recorded their instrumental version on December 1, 1920.[2][3]
Other popular versions in 1920-21 were by Gene Rodemich; Eddie Cantor; Ted Lewis; and Frank Crumit.[4] The Rega Dance Orchestra recorded the song in October, 1920 for Okeh Records, 4211.

The song was published in 1920 and was named after the five-year-old daughter of singer and songwriter Eddie Cantor. Cantor is credited with popularizing the song with his 1921 recording that stayed at the top of the pop charts for five weeks.[5]

Margie, I'll tell the
World I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a home and ring
And everything for
Margie
You've been my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done
There is really only one
Oh, Margie, Margie, it's you
