Mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had About the boyOn the silverscreen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad About the boyLord knows I'm not a fool girl I really shouldn't care Lord knows I'm not a school girl In the fury of her first affairWill it ever cloy This odd diversity of misery and joy I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boySo if I could employ A little magic that will finally destroy This dream that pains me and enchains me But I can't because I'm mad... I'm mad about the boy |

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 |

Some folks like to get away,
Take a holiday from the neighborhood. Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood. But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line. I'm in a New York state of mind. I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines. Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens. I know what I'm needin', and I don't wanna waste more time. I'm in a New York state of mind. It was so easy livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, the Daily News. It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide. I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside. I don't have any reasons. I left them all behind. I'm in a New York state of mind. Oh yeah. It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, the Daily News. Who, oh, oh whoa who. It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide. I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside. I don't have any reasons. I left them all behind. I'm in a New York state of mind. I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line. Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York state of mind |

I don't know why
But i'm feeling so sad I long to try Something i've never had Never had no kissing Oh what i've been missing Lover man oh where can you be The night is cold And i'm so all alone I'd give my soul Just to call you my own Got the 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 the prayer that you'll make love to me Sad as it seems One day we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears And whisper sweeet Little things in my ears. A huggin' and a kissin' Lord what i've been missin' Lover man oh where can you be. |

What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty-four little hours Brought the sun and the flowers Where there used to be rain My yesterday was blue, dear Today I'm part of you, dear My lonely nights are through, dear (Since you said you were mine) What a diff'rence a day makes There's a rainbow before me Skies above can't be stormy Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss (It's heaven when you find romance on your menu) What a diff'rence a day made And the difference is you (What a diff'rence a day makes) (There's a rainbow before me) (Skies above can't be stormy) Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss (It's heaven when you find romance on your menu) What a diff'rence a day made And the difference is you |

The leaves of brown
Came tumblin' down, remember In September in the rain The sun went out Just like a dying ember That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play A sweet refrain Though spring is here, To me it's still September That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play A sweet refrain Though spring is here, To me it's still September That September in the rain That September in the rain |

There is a house in New Orleans Call it the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin Of many a poor girl And me, oh Lord, I'm one If I'd listened what my mama said Be at home today Bein' so young And foolish, my Lord Let a gambler lead me astray My mother was a tailor Sews new blue jeans My sweetheart's is a drunkarad, Lord Drinks down in New Orleans Go tell my baby sister Never do what I have done Shun that house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun Goin' back to New Orleans Race is almost run Goin' back to spend my life Beneath, beneath, beneath, oh Lord Beneath, oh now Beneath the rising, rising sun Now, now You come on bye |

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon Where's my family And my country heaven knows where I belong Pack my bags tonight Here's one Jacobite Who must leave or surely die Put me on a train In the pouring rain say farewell but don't say goodbye Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home One more glass of wine Just for auld lang syne And the girl I left behind How I miss her now In my darkest hour And the way our arms entwine Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home And we'll drink a toast To the blood red rose Cheer a while the Emerald Isle And to the northern lights And the swirling pipes How they make a grown man cry Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home |

It would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sand
Than for anyone to try to separate us or stop us from holding hands, 'cause [Chorus] I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart And what love has joined together, what love has joined together Can nobody take it apart It would be easier to take the cold from the snow or the heat from fire Than for anyone to take me love from you 'cause you're my heart's desire, and [Chorus] Even if they separate us a thousand miles apart We will still be together in each other's hearts It would be easier to change all the seasons of the year Than for anyone to change the way I feel about you; I love you dear |

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back, from outta space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go now go, walk out the door Just turn around now Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd crumble? Think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not! I'll survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I wil survive. Hey, hey It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights Just feelin' sorry for myself I used to cry But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you feel like droppin' in And just expect me to be free Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me |
