This book presents 25 lyrical North American melodies scored for solo baritone ukulele in standard notation and tablature; occasional left-hand fingering suggestions are provided in these intermediate to advanced melody/chord settings. Selections include historical themes from the turbulent Civil War era, popular 19th century ballads, and modern pieces by William Bay. Along with the songs of several other known and unknown composers, any collection of American ballads would be incomplete without the timeless melodies penned by Stephen Foster; you will find Beautiful Dreamer, I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair, Darling Nellie Gray, and Stephen Foster's timeless Civil War classic Hard Times, Come Again No More in this collection.As the baritone uke is tuned the same as the top four strings of the guitar, guitarists can enjoy playing these satisfying arrangements on a second instrument!

By Duane Eddy. By Jimmie Davis. Arranged by Bettina Schipp. 20th Century,Broadway,Country,Film/TV,Musical/Show. Score. 2 pages. Songbooks.info #943641. Published by songbooks.info (A0.1359184).

You Are My Sunshine is an Old-Time Music country song from 1939 that became an Evergreen.
The authorship of the song is disputed; Paul Rice probably wrote it in 1937. Jimmie Davis acquired the rights to the song, so he is still listed as the lyricist and Charles Mitchell as the composer.
The success of the song took some time to come; Ray Charles achieved its best placement in 1962 with seventh place in the US pop charts. Other prominent performers are Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Mitch Ryder, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. Also in the TV series Star Trek Voyager and in films such as O Brother, Where Art Thou? or Annabelle 2 the song can be heard.
The song was arranged for the Ukulele and notated in classical musical notation and tablature.
The sound of a Vibraphone was used in the setting, so the sound does not mix with the sound of your own instrument. The melody is backed by a metronome and quietly by an organ. We hope you enjoy making music...!

You Are My Sunshine ist ein Country-Song der Old-Time Music aus dem Jahre 1939, der zum Evergreen wurde.
Die Urheberschaft des Songs ist umstritten, vermutlich hat ihn Paul Rice 1937 verfasst. Jimmie Davis erwarb die Rechte zu dem Song, sodaß er als Texter und Charles Mitchell als Komponist noch heute gelistet wird. 
Der Erfolg des Liedes ließ einige Zeit auf sich warten, die beste Platzierung erreichte Ray Charles 1962 mit dem siebten Platz in den US Pop-Charts. Weitere prominente Interpreten sind Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Mitch Ryder, Johnny Cash oder Jerry Lee Lewis. Auch in der TV-Serie Star Trek Voyager und in Filmen wie O Brother, Where Art Thou? oder Annabelle 2 ist der Song zu hören.
Das Lied wurde für die Ukulele arrangiert und in klassischer Notenschrift und Tabulatur notiert.
In der Vertonung wurde der Sound eines Vibraphones verwendet, so vermischt sich der Klang nicht mit dem Klang des eigenen Instrumentes. Hinterlegt ist die Melodie mit einem Metronom sowie leise mit einer Orgel. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Musizieren...!
