Harry Haag James (March 15, 1916 – July 5, 1983) was a popular United States musician and band leader, and a well known trumpet virtuoso. Harry James was born in Albany, Georgia, the son of a bandleader of a traveling circus. By age 10 he was taking trumpet lessons from his father. His father had him on a very strict practicing schedule every day. He was given one page to learn out of the Arban's book (a trumpet drill book) every day and could not do anything until he learned that page.

Harry James

One Dozen Roses
Harry James

Give me one dozen roses
Put my heart in beside them
And send them to the one I love

She'll be glad to receive them
And I know she'll believe them
That's something we've been talking of

There may be orange blossoms later
Kind of think that there will
Cause she's done something to me
And my heart won't keep still

Give me one dozen roses
Put my heart in beside them
And send them to the one I love
