1. _ My Man
(c. pollock/m. yvain/a. willemetz/j. charles)
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that i got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that i'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But i love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But i love him
I don't no why i should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can i do?
Oh my man, i love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right
What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

2. _ Them There Eyes
(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

3. _ Mean To Me
(r. turk/f. ahlert)
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee, honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying
I don't know why i stay home
Each night when you left all alone
Singing the blues and crying
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever you're...
Mean to...

4. _ Strange Fruit
(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

5. _ Don't Explain
(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.)
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

6. _ Fine And Mellow
(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

7. _ You've Changed
(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

8. _ God Bless The Child
(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

9. _ Love Is Here To Stay
(g. gershwin/i. gershwin)
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay

10. _ Goodmorning Heartache
(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

11. _ 't Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
(p. graninger/e. robbins)
There ain't nothin' i can do
Or nothing i can say
That folks don't criticize me
But i'm gonna do what i want to anyway
And i don't care just what people say
If i should take a notion to jump into the ocean
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If i go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If my man ain't got no money and i say take all mine honey
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
If i give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
I swear i won't call no coppa if i'm beat up by my poppa
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do
Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if i do

12. _ Little Girl Blue
(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)
When i was very young
The world was younger than i
As merry as a carousel
The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring i loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue

13. _ Gimme A Pigfoot (and A Bottle Of Beer)
(w. wilson)
Up in harlem every saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol' hannah brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like i wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause i don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like i wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause i don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer

14. _ There's A Small Hotel
(richard rodgers/lorentz hart)
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there, together
There's a bridal suite
Two rooms, soft and sweet
I wish that we were there together
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who needs people
When the wishing well
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll thank that small hotel, together

15. _ Where Did We Go Wrong (in Album Stolen Moments)
(diana ross/bill wray/jim wray)
Where did we go wrong
Don't know what to do
How to make things better
Can't stop loving you
You look like i'm invisible
Don't want me you say
Baby i love you
Stop pushing me away
Hold me, move me
Help me go through it
Hold me, oh baby, you can make me do it
I need you here
Close to me tonight
Not asking for forever
Baby just one more time
Dancing in the mirror
Feeling so blue
Don't matter who's right or wrong
All i want is you
Got me acting crazy
Playing the fool
But i would do anything
If i could still have you
How can i live without you
I've been loving you so long
You are my weakness
You keep me hangin' on
I need your arms to hold me
I'm afraid to be alone
Where am i
This empty house is not a home
Hold me, move me
Help me go through it
Hold me, oh baby
Only you can do it
I need you here close to me tonight
I'm not asking for forever
Baby just one more time
You act like i'm invisible
You don't want me you say
Baby i love you, stop pushing me away
I need someone to hold me
Afraid to be alone
Where am i
This empty house is not a home
Down on my knees
Beggin' baby please
I love you
Where did we go wrong

16. _ What A Little Moonlight Can Do
(h. woods)
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your hearts a flutter
And all day long you only shutter
'cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words "i love you"
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
'till the little moonbeams comes peeking through
You get bold
You can't resist him
All you say
When you kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do

17. _ I Cried For You (now It's Your Turn To Cry Over Me)
(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

18. _ Lover Man (oh, Where Can You Be?)
(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
