Some sources state that Percy Wenrich wrote the music and Jack Mahoney the lyrics, in 1914. Credit for the most popular version of the song, though, is given to Ray Henderson for the music, and Sam M. Lewis and Joseph Widow Young for the lyrics. It was this version that was recorded by The California Ramblers in 1925.<br \/>\nThe Jack Mahoney lyrics (1914) are the same as the chorus used in the Sam M. Lewis &amp; Joseph Widow Young version (1925). Minor variations exist in recorded versions \u00e2\u20ac\u201d for example, &#8220;pearls&#8221; and &#8220;hers&#8221; instead of &#8220;fur&#8221; and &#8220;her&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre class=\"xNWlr hjutX PBFx0\" style=\"font-size: 13px;\">[Verse 1]\r\n<span class=\"iGhjU xXjiq VcfKs\" style=\"color: var(--ug-color-text-primary);\" data-name=\"C\">C<\/span>              <span class=\"iGhjU xXjiq VcfKs\" style=\"color: var(--ug-color-text-primary);\" data-name=\"E7\">E7<\/span>\r\nFive foot two, eyes of blue.
