Seven Lonely Days - georgia gibbs
seven lonely days make one lonely week
seven lonely nights make one lonely me
ever since the time you told me we were thru
seven lonely days i cried and i cried for you
oh, my darlin' i'm cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
there's no use in denyin' i cried for you
it's your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
last week was the last time i cried for you
seven hankies blue i filled with my tears
seven letters true i filled with my fears
guess it never pays to make your lover blue
seven lonely days i cried and i cried for you
oh, my darlin i'm cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
now, there's no use in denyin' i cried for you
it's your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
last week was the last time i cried for you
1、对于这首歌，大家可能更熟悉的是乡村巨星PATSY CLINE 的版本PATSY CLINE：
One of the greatest singers in the history of country music, Patsy Cline also helped blaze a trail for female singers to assert themselves as an integral part of the Nashville-dominated country music industry. She was not alone in this regard; Kitty Wells had become a star several years before Cline's big hits in the early '60s. Brenda Lee, who shared Cline's producer, did just as much to create a country-pop crossover during the same era; Skeeter Davis briefly 2 enjoyed similar success. Cline has the most legendary 3 aura of any female country singer, however, perhaps due to an early death that cut her off just after she had entered her prime.

乔治亚·吉布斯是大乐队时代艺人排名第66位的流行女歌手，自1950年至1954间有上榜歌曲12首。其中最成功的3首是：
1）Kiss Of Fire（火之吻）1952年4月19日登榜首7周

Georgia Gibbs原名Fredda Gibbons，1920年8月17日出生于麻省的Worcester。从15岁开始就在广播电台的Hit Parade和Camel Caravan 4节目中表演。1938年和Hudson-Delange乐队一起表演时的名曲有《If We Never Meet Again》，1940年和Frankie Trumbauer合作时的名曲有《Laziest Girl In Town》，1942年和Artie Shaw乐队合作时的名曲有《Not Mine》，《Absent Minded Moon》。也就是在这段期间，她改名为Georgia Gibbs。随后，在Jimmy Durant/Garry Moore主持的广播节目时，Moore给她起了个‘Her Nibs’的外号。她坚定而准确的嗓音以及良好的艺人风范令她在1950到1959间获得15支排行榜前40位的歌曲。最开始的两支是Coral唱片公司发行的《If I Knew You Were Comin’》及《I’d’ve Baked A Cake》。
1951年，她和Mercury唱片公司签了约。她52年演唱的《Kiss Of Fire－火之吻》是由一支阿根廷探弋《El Choclo》改编的。53年演唱的《Seven Lonely Days－七个寂寞的日子》则是原来Bonnie Lou唱到乡村排行榜前10位的一支歌曲。她唱的热门曲多是翻唱的R&B歌曲。如：55年原来LaVerne Baker唱的《Tweedle Dee》，《Dance With Me Henry》是改动了歌词的原Hank Ballard的歌曲《Work With Me Annie》，以及Ballard，Johnny Otis，Etta James的性感歌曲《Roll With Me Henry》等。
后来，她不断的改变合作的唱片公司，先是跳到RCA公司。然后58年到Rou8lette公司，出了她最后一支进入排行榜前40位的《The Hula-Hoop Song》。后又在Mercury公司录了含有《Swinin’ With Her Nibs》一曲的专辑。63年在Epic公司录了《Georgia Gibbs》，64年在Imperial公司录了《Something’s Gotta Give》。64年以后，她在意大利过着半隐居的生活。
