Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop |

Fine And Mellow
Billie Holiday My man don't love me Treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me Treats me awfully He's the, lowest man That I've ever see He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow But when he starts in to love me He's so fine and mellow Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you do things That you know is wrong But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But you're so mean to me baby I know you're gonna drive me away Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone........... |

My old flame I can't even think of his name But it's funny now and then How my thoughts go flashing back again To my old flame My old flame My new lovers all seem so tame For I haven't met a gent So innocent or elegant As my old flame I've met so many men With fascinating ways A fascinating gaze in their eyes Som who sent me up to the skies But their attempts at love Were only imitations of My old flame I can't even think of his name But I'll never be the same Untill I discover what became Of my old flame I've met so many men With fascinating ways A fascinating gaze in their eyes Som who sent me up to the skies But their attempts at love Were only imitations of My old flame I can't even think of his name But I'll never be the same Untill I discover what became Of my old flame |

Lord I love my man, tell the world I do
I love my man, tell the world I do But when he mistreats me Makes me feel so blue My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Fought about my supper and put me outdoors Had the dark clay make black spots on my clothes I didn't have so many But I had a long, long way to go Some men like me talkin' happy Some calls it snappy Some call me honey Others think I got money Some tell me baby you're built for speed Now if you put that all together Makes me everthing a good man needs |

I'm not much to look at
nothing to see just glad I'm living and lucky to be I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way I can't save a dollar ain't worth a cent he doesn't hollar he'd live in a tent I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way Though he loves to work And slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off If I went away But why should I leave him Why should I go He'd be unhappy without me I know I've got that man mad about me He's funny that way Never had nothing No one to care That's why I seem to have More than my share I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way When I hurt his feelings Once in a while His only answer is one little smile I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way I can see no other way And no better plan End it all and let him go To some better gal But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me West I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that way |

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be? The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be? I've heard it said That the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be? |

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain I'm glad you're back Don't explain Quiet, don't explain What is there to gain Skip that lipstick Don't explain You know that I love you And what love endures All my thoughts are of you For I'm so completely yours Cry to hear folks chatter And I know you cheat Right or wrong, don't matter When you're with me, sweet Hush now, don't explain You're my joy and pain My life's yours, love Don't explain You know that I love you And what love endures Nothing rates above you For I'm so completely yours Cry to hear folks chatter And I know you cheat Right or wrong, don't matter When you're with me, sweet Hush now, don't explain You're my joy and pain My life's yours, love Don't explain |

Good Morning Heartache
Goodmorning heartache You old gloomy sight Goodmorning heatache Thought we said goodbye last night I turned and tossed 'til it seemed you had gone But here you are with the dawn Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay It seems I met you when my love went away Now everyday I start by saying to you Goodmorning heartache, what's new? Stop haunting me now Can't shake you nohow Just leave me alone I've got those Monday blues Stright through Sunday blues Goodmorning heartache Here we go again Goodmorning heartache You're the one who knew me when Might as well get used to you hanging around Goodmorning heartache Sit down Stop haunting me now Can't shake you nohow Just leave me alone I've got those Monday blues Stright through Sunday blues Goodmorning heartache Here we go again Goodmorning heartache You're the one who knew me when Might as well get used to you hanging around Goodmorning heartache Sit down |

No Good Man
Irene Higginbotham / Dan Fisher / Sammy Gallop No good man Lovin' all the no good things Never treats me as he should That ain't no good He's always bringing me down He's no saint Heaven knows thats what he ain't Spends his money foolishly Not on me I'm the one who gets the run-around I ought to hate him and yet I love him so For I require Love that's made of fire And in his arms I find I always get that kind No good man Ever since the world began There have been other fools like me Born to be In love with a no good man |

In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair Filled with despair Nobody could be so sad With gloom ev'rywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude I'm praying Dear Lord above Send back my love |

Living for you, is easy living.
It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. I'll never regret the years I'm giving. They're easy to give when you're in love. I'm happy to do whatever I do, for you. For you...maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun. People say you rule me with one wave of your hand. Darling, it's grand. They just don't understand. Living for you is easy living. It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. |

It cost me a lot
But theres one thing that I've got Its my man Its my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'lll soon forget With my man He is not much on looks He is no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him Two or three girls has he That he likes as well as me But I love him I dont know why I should He isn't true He beats me, too What can I do? Oh, my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just a spare But I dont care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright All right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday For whatever my man is I'm his forevermore |

You're my thrill You do something to me You send chills right through me When I look at you 'Cause you're my thrill You're my thrill How my pulse increases I just go to pieces When I look at you 'Cause you're my thrill Hmmm-nothing seems to matter Hmmm-here's my heart on a silver platter Where's my will Why this strange desire That keeps morning higher When I look at you I cann't keep still You're my thrill |

I say I'll move the mountains And I'll move the mountains If he wants them out of the way Crazy he calls me Sure, I'm crazy Crazy in love, I say I say I'll go through fire And I'll go through fire As he wants it, so it will be Crazy he calls me Sure, I'm crazy Crazy in love, you see Like the wind that shakes the bough He moves me with a smile The difficult I'll do right now The impossible will take a little while I say I'll care forever And I mean forever If I have to hold up the sky Crazy he calls me Sure, I'm crazy Crazy in love am I |

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you |

You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought to my plea Casts a spell over me Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself" Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head With a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head |

This suspense is killin' me
I can't stand uncertainty Tell me now, I've got to know Whether you want me to stay or go Love me or leave me or let me be lonely You won't believe me, I love you only I'd rather be lonely Then happy with somebody else You might find the night time The right time for kissin' But night time is my time For just reminiscin' Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love but I don't want to borrow To have it today to give back tomorrow For your love is my love There's no love for nobody else |

Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovely dreams Lovely summer dreams Gone and left me here To wheep my tears along the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say thay love has sinned To leave my heart a sign And crying alone Murmur to the night Hide her starry light So none will find me sighing Crying all alone Wheeping willow tree Wheeping sympathy Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to me plee Hear me willow and weep for me Willow Willow Wheep for me |

I took a trip on a train And I thought about you I passed a shadowy lane And I thought about you Two or three cars arked under the stars A winding stream Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, the same old dream And every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you When I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue I peeked through the crack, looked at the track The one going back to you And what did I do? I thought about you |

The snow is snowin'
The wind is blowin' But I can weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm I can't remember A worst December Just watch those icicles form What do I care if icicles form I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat Off with my gloves I need no overcoat I'm burning with love My heart's on fire The flame grows higher So I will weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm (bridge) My heart's on fire The flame grows higher So I will weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm |

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around & finally found, that somebody who could make me be true could make me be blue & even be glad just to be sad, thinking of you Some others i've seen might never be mean, might never be cross, or try to be boss But they wouldn't do For nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, i love you still It had to be you, wonderful you It had to be you ..

I Cover The Waterfront
Johnny W. Green / Edward Heyman Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return Will the one I love Be coming back To me............ |

You''re making me blue
All that you do Seems unfair You try not to hear Turn a deaf ear To my prayer It seems you don''t want to see What you are doingg to me My arms are waiting to caress you And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I''m all for you Body and soul I spend my days in longing And wondering it''s me you''re wronging Why haven''t you seen it I''m all for you Body and soul I can''t believe it It hard to conceive it That you''d turn away romance Are you pretending Don''t say it''s the ending I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear My life a hell your''e making You know I''m yours for just the taking I''d gladly surrender Myself to you Body and soul Life''s dreary for me Day''s seem to be long as years I''ve looked for the sun But can see none Through my tears Your heart must be like a stone To leave me like this alone When you could make my life worth living By taking what I''m set on giving, sweet heart My heart is sad and lonely For you I cry For you, dear, only I tell you I mean it I''m all for you Body and soul |

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place Except you and me So set 'em' up joe, I got a little story I think you should know We're drinking my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I know the routine, put another nickel In the machine I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music Easy and sad I could tell you a lot, but it's not In a gentleman's code Make it one for my baby And one more for the road You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's talked away Well that's how it goes, and joe I know your gettin' Anxious to close Thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found, it's gotta be drowned Or it's gonna explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road |
