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........... |

Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler
I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to moan inside I gotta right to sit and cry Down around the river A certain man in this little town Keeps draggin' my poor heart around All I see for me is misery I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to moan inside I gotta right to sit and cry Down around the river A certain man in this little town Soon that deep blue sea Will be callin' me It must be love say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to moan and cry I gotta sit and sigh Down around the river Soon that deep blue sea Will be callin' me It must be love say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues There's nothing left for me I'm full of misery I gotta right to sing the blues |

Oh How am I to know If its really love That's found its way here Oh How am I to know Will it linger on And leave me then I'll dare not guess At this strange happiness But oh How am I to know Can it be that love Has come to stay here |

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 |

I'll get by As long as I have you Oh there'be rain And darkness too I'll not complain I'll live with you Poverty May come to me that's true But what care I I'll get by As long as I have you *ALTERNATIVELY (I don't know....., ecduzit) I'll get by as long as I have you Though there'll be rain and darkness too I'll not complain I'll laugh, it's true Ah, but tears may come to me That's true But what care I, say I'll get by, as long as I have 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............ |

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through. In that small cafe; The park across the way; The children's carosel; The chestnut trees; The wishin' well. I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day; In every thing that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you In the morning sun And when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you. I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day; In every thing that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you In the morning sun And when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you. |

I`m Yours
Johnny Green / E.Y. Harburg Ask the sky above And ask the earth below Why I’m so in love And why I love you so Couldn't tell you though I tried do Just why I'm yours When you went away You left a glowing spark Trying to be gay as Whistling in the dark I am only what you make me Come take me I'm yours How can I happy I would be to beg or borrow For sorrow With you Even though I knew Tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart Then I'll be lost and alone Though you use my heart Just for a steppin’ stone How can I help dreaming of you I love you I'm yours How can I happy I would be to beg or borrow For sorrow With you Even though I knew Tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart Then I'll be lost and alone Though you use my heart Just for a steppin’ stone How can I help dreaming of you I love you I'm yours....... |

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 |

The sky was blue
And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do I'm so lonely Every road I walked along I walked along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do Honey I get oh so lonely Every road I walked along I walked along with you Ain't no wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back Lover come back Lover come back to me Lover come back Lover come back Lover come back to me Lover come on back Lover come on back Lover come on back to me Come on back to me girl Come on back girl Lover come back to me |

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 |

(Dorothy Fields / Jimmy McHugh)
Grab your coat and get your hat. Leave your worry on the doorstep. Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street. Can't you hear a pitter-pat? And that happy tune is your step. Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street. I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade, But now I'm not afraid. This rover crossed over. If I never have a cent, I'll be rich as Rockefeller. Gonna set my feet On the sunny side of the street. Grab your coat and get your hat. Leave your worry on the doorstep. Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street. Can't you hear a pitter-pat? And that happy tune is your step. Live can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street. I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade, But now I'm not afraid. This rover crossed over. If I never have a cent, I'll be rich as Rockefeller With gold dust at my feet On the sunny side of the street. |
