Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron I heard that old rag man now making his rounds He came right to my alley lord with sorrowful sounds Crying rags old iron and pulling his cart Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron So I asked that old rag man how much he would pay For a heart that was broken baby when you went away For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron For those big empty promises you used to make For those memories of you that are no longer sweet I wish he could haul them off down the street Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron When love doesn't last tell me what is it worth It was once mama's most precious possession on earth When I asked that old rag man if he'd like to buy He just shook his head and continued to cry Rags old iron rags old iron All he was buying was just rags and old iron Rags old iron rags old iron Rags old iron rags old iron rags old iron |

Cross, Cory
I'll look around And when I've found me somebody who laughs like you I know somewhere spring must fill the air with sweetness Just as rare as a flower that you gave me to wear So I'll look around Sweetheart and when i've found me somebody Somebody who laughs like you I'll know this love that I've been dreaming of And it won't be the old love that I always knew Mmm who laughs like you I know somewhere spring must fill the air with sweetness Just as rare as a flower that you gave me to wear So I'll look around And when I've found me somebody who laughs like you I'll know this love that I've been dreaming of And it won't be the old love that I always knew |

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Because they done convicted me of crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go I commited crime Lord I needed Crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?) When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go I heard the judge say five years On chain-gang you gonna go I heard the judge say five years labor I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!" Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go Gonna see my sweet honey bee Gonna break this chain off to run Gonna lay down somewhere shady Lord I sure am hot in the sun Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been workin' and workin' been workin' and slavin' an' workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go |

(1953) Peggy Lee, Victor Young
I went to London town to clear up my mind Then on to Paris for the fun I could find I found I couldn't leave my memories behind Where can I go without you Tried seeing Singapore that wouldn't do So I went Vienna but I found you THERE too Even in Switzerland your memory came through Where can I go without you So I wanted to travel and I wanted romance So I just took off and chased my rainbow across the sea But it's all over I'm tired of faces and QUAINT old places Baby if you won't be there with me Back on the boat again farewell to France So long West Germany it hasn't got a chance I'll trade the sides I've seen for one loving glance Where can I go without you |

Just say that I need him as roses need the rain And tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain Just say I love him loved him from the start And tell him that I'm yearning to say what's in my heart Just say that I need him as roses need the rain Tell him that without him my dreams are all in vainIf you should chance to meet him anytime anyplace anywhere Say I was a fool to leave him Tell him how much a fool can care And if he tells you he's lonely now and then Just won't you tell him that I love him And want him back againIf you should see him anytime anyplace anywhere Tell him I was a fool to leave him Tell him how much a fool can care And if he tells you he's lonely now and then Won't you just say I love him and want him back again Won't you just say I love him and want him back again |

Memphis in June A shade veranda under Sunday blue sky Memphis in June And my cousin Miranda she's making a blueberry pie I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking Everything so peaceful and dandy I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking Watching all the neighbours go by oh my Memphis in June Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander It's paradise honey take my advice honey Cos there's nothing loke old Memphis in June |
