Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite - Spaniels, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite - (Spaniels, The, 1954). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Puka's Bar Courtyard, Kahala, HI. 2022-10-05. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite," written by Calvin Carter and James Hudson, was the Spaniels' only top 40 hit rising to no. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1954 and no. 5 on the Billboard R&B chart (allmusic, 2022; Whitburn, 1986, 2013). Jame "Pookie" Hudson was the lead singer for the group and was the first artist to sign to the Vee-Jay record label (wbssmedia, 2022). The Spaniels were a doo-wop group hailing from Gary, IN (allmusic, 2022). Other notable versions of the song that charted include: The McGuire sisters (no. 7, 1954) and Sunny Fall (no. 26, 1954) (Whitburn, 1986). The TV series "Sha Na Na," featuring the group of the same name, used the song to end each of their episodes (1977-1980) (imdb, 2022). I use the song as well to end each of my live performances.

Lyrics:

Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnite, sweetheart, goodnite.

Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnite, sweetheart, goodnite.

Well, it's three o'clock in the morning
Baby, I just can't treat you right,
Well, I hate to leave you, babe,
Don't mean maybe, because I love you so.

Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnite, sweetheart, goodnight.

Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnite, sweetheart, goodnite.

Now, my mother and my father,
Might hear if I stay here too long,
One kiss and we'll part,
And I'll be going,
You know I hate to see you go.

Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnite, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnite, sweetheart, goodnite.
