Memories of my dad blasting this tune though out my house as a kid. Mom & dad dancing. Good times… great memories. Yes dad was Polish! 😊… another favorite Melody 🎶 of Love… by the Polish Prince.. Bobby Vinton.

This is awesome. Makes me wish I had a time machine. I'd go back with today's latest greatest and much cheaper to afford recording gear and come back to the present with pure gold.

Absolutely awesome recordings of the best voice in Polka Music. Thank you for the wonderful tunes and memories. Great recordings.

There is a 3rd verse in this version starting at 2:02, and I can't make out all the words clearly because of the recording quality. Other audio versions and all written lyrics I see have only the 2 verses and the Chorus 2 or three times, this one has three verses. The last verse is always the one with "hey ciemne oczka, piekne ciemne oczka, mloda dziewczyna miala"... but this one has an additional verse. Anyone know the words or link to that verse?

Wish I could help. Another song that Eddie and Chet would add an extra verse to is Tu Lu Lu Oberek. When Eddie and Chet recorded it on the first Po Staro Krajsku album in 1964, they sang the 3 standard verses. When Chet was in the band in the 1960s they would add a 4th verse A Capella that I cannot find written anywhere. Interestingly, when Chet left the band Eddie performed the standard 3 verse version.

I FOUND IT! LOL... i started searching with the polish lyrics instead of the song title and got some hits from PL websites... A ta nasza dziewczynka, Każdego chłopca chciała, Osiemnaście lat, hej osiemnaście lat, Ona jeszcze nie miała. Osiemnaście lat, hej osiemnaście lat, Ona jeszcze nie miała. This is the only version on youtube or elsewhere I can find this verse sung...
