My Girl Back Home

~ Recording by Mary Martin

Annotation

sung by Lieutenant Cable in the original score but was cut before the first Broadway production.

"Loneliness of Evening" and "My Girl Back Home" were recorded by Mary Martin, backed by Percy Faith's Orchestra, and released as a single in 1951. On some later CD versions of the cast album these two songs are included as bonus tracks along with Pinza's "Bali Ha'i".
