LearnJazzPiano.com archives: is there a verse to Ever Lovin Adelaide?

Dear room I recently bought a fantastic album ; Bill Evans  and Eddie Costa play tunes from Guys and Dolls. there is a version of Ever Lovin Adelaide and Bill Plays a very pretty 30 second piece which may or may not be the actual verse to the song. I have never heard it played before .not even in the movie version. Can any one enlighten me? Lone Wolf Jazz

It was written for the movie (it's not in the show at least), so there may not be a verse.  The verses tended to come from songs that were originally written for Broadway shows.

Dear Ziggy thanks for the input, You may be right ,But I am still investigating through the Frank Morris music corp. who has the rights to the tune. I will gladly post the results either way if you like. chas. have you ever heard the album of Guys and Dolls  ---with Bill Evans  and Eddie costa? it is great.                                 LATER
