Lady Sing The Blues

(m. pinkard/w. tracy/d. tauber)

I fell in love with you
The first time i looked into
Them there eyes
'cause you have a certain
Little cute way of flirting with
Them there eyes

They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
I'm falling, no stalling
In a great big way for you

My heart is jumping
You started something with
Them there eyes
You better look out
Little brown eyes
If you're wise

They sparkle, they bubble
Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble
Ooh baby, them there eyes

(b. carey/c. fisher)

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
Your kiss is now so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel i once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now. you've changed

(g. simons/g. marks)

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you

Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can i go on, dear, without you

You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can i go on, dear, without you

You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

(b. holiday)

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That i've ever seen

He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
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
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong

But if you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away

Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on

Some times when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

(l. allan)

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is the fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop

Here is a strange and bitter crop

(i. higgenbotham/e. drake/d. fisher)

Goodmorning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Goodmorning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned
Until 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 every day i start by
Saying to you
Goodmorning heartache, what's new?

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight through sunday blues

Goodmorning heartache
Here we go again
Goodmorning heartache
You're the one who knew me well
Might as well get used to you
Hangin' around
Goodmorning heartache
Sit down

(a. lyman/g. arnheim/a. freed)

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing i'm learning

I cried for you
What a fool i used to be
Now i found two eyes
A little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing i'm learning

I cried for you
What a fool i used to be
Now i found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

That i cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.)

Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But god bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

(j. davis/j. sherman/r. ramirez)

I don't know why
But i'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something i never had

Never had no kissing
Ooh, what i've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

The night is cold
And i'm so all alone
I'll give my soul
Just to call you my own

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

I've heard it say
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
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be

I've heard it say
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
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears

Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
