I may have made myself misunderstood by Mr Glover and others.
See this article and especially the quote below:
www.nps.gov/resources/story.htm?id=251
The Southern lag in industrial development did not result from any inherent economic disadvantages. There was great wealth in the South, but it was primarily tied up in the slave economy. In 1860, the economic value of slaves in the United States exceeded the invested value of all of the nation's railroads, factories, and banks combined. On the eve of the Civil War, cotton prices were at an all-time high. The Confederate leaders were confident that the importance of cotton on the world market, particularly in England and France, would provide the South with the diplomatic and military assistance they needed for victory.

MAC AMORE
For Gigi:
Happy holidays
“(In Napoli where love
is king
When boy meets girl
here's what they say)
Five'll get you ten Old Macky's back in town
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe …
When the moon hits your
eye like a big pizza pie
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, that’s amore!
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white,"Vita bella".
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
And he keeps it out of sight, that’s amore!
Hearts will play
tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Scarlet billows start to spread, like a gay tarantella.
Fancy gloves, though wears MacHeath, babe
When the stars make you
drool just like a pasta fool.
When the world seems to
shine like you've had too much wine
there's never, never a trace of red, that’s amore.
When you dance down the
street with a cloud at your feet
Oh, that cement is just its there for the weight, you're in love
When you walk in a dream
but you know you're not
Dreaming senior, someone's
sneakin' 'round a corner.
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
D'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe.
Bells will ring
ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
Old Macky's back in town,
"Vita bella".
Scuzza me, but you see,
back in old Napoli
That's amore (amore)

RAWHIDE ON THE RANGE
For Scarlett:
Happy Holidays?
"Oh give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam
Don't try to understand em
Just rope throw an brand em
Where the deer and the antelope play
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart's calculatin', my true love will be waitin',
Home, home on the range,
Keep them doggies movin'
Don't try to understand 'em,
Where seldom is heard, keep movin', movin', movin',
A discouraging word, though they're disapprovin',
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Just rope throw and brand' em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
be waiting at the end of my ride.
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!"

BEAT IT MEAN FIRST VERSION
For Betty Boop:
Happy Burp Day
'She was more like a wolverine
from a sit com scene,
(chorus) do do do do do, doooo do do, do
do do do do do, doooo do do
She said her name was Billy Mean,
And she ripped my jeans.
(chorus) do do do do do, doooo do do, do
do do do do do, doooo do do
I said you better sew these right now,
or I'll fake a scene
(chorus) do do do do do, doooo do do, do
do do do do do, doooo do do
She said I am the one
who will dance on the ground in the round now,
(chorus) do do do do do, doooo do do, do
do do do do do, doooo do do
Billy Mean's not my lover, she's just a girl claims I am the one
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
And who wants to beware,
(chorus) Just beat it beat it beat it, do do do ,do
Just beat it beat it beat it, do do do ,do
Then showed a selfie (paint bot) of me, says I am the one,
but the kid's not my one, eyes just like mine.
(chorus) do do do do do, doooo do do, do
do do do do do, doooo do do
Billy Mean's not my lover, she just claims I am one,
I say yes, that's my selfie, it doesn't matter which side I'm on,
I don't want to be square,
so beat it beat it beat it, do do do ,do
Just beat it beat it beat it, do do do ,do
ps I wouldn't use Quincy Jones' stuff for this.
use say let It Bleed, or country Honk, or meld them.
