Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see He belonged to someone, but not me On his hand was a plain gold band Plain gold ring has a story to tell It was one that I knew too well In my heart it will never be spring Long as he wears a plain gold ring Oh, oh When nighttime comes a' callin' on me I know why I will never be free I can't stop these teardrops of mine I'm gonna love him till the end of time Plain gold ring has but one thing to say I'll remember till my dying day In my heart it will never be spring Long as he wears a plain gold ring Plain gold ring on his finger he wore Plain gold ring on his finger he wore Plain gold ring on his finger he wore |

(1928) Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill
You people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors And I'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawking Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell In this crummy Southern town In this crummy old hotel But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'. No. You couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'. Then one night there's a scream in the night And you'll wonder who could that have been And you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin' And you say, "What's she got to grin?" I'll tell you. There's a ship The Black Freighter With a skull on its masthead Will be coming in You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal, finish them floors! Get upstairs! What's wrong with you! Earn your keep here! You toss me your tips And look out to the ships But I'm counting your heads As I'm making the beds Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here, Tonight, nobodys gonna sleep here, honey Nobody Nobody! Then one night there's a scream in the night And you say, "Who's that kicking up a row?" And ya see me kinda starin' out the winda And you say, "What's she got to stare at now?" I'll tell ya. There's a ship The Black Freighter Turns around in the harbor Shootin' guns from her bow Now You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face Cause every building in town is a flat one This whole frickin' place will be down to the ground Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound And you yell, "Why do they spare that one?" Yes. That's what you say. "Why do they spare that one?" All the night through, through the noise and to-do You wonder who is that person that lives up there? And you see me stepping out in the morning Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair And the ship The Black Freighter Runs a flag up its masthead And a cheer rings the air By noontime the dock Is a-swarmin' with men Comin' out from the ghostly freighter They move in the shadows Where no one can see And they're chainin' up people And they're bringin' em to me Askin' me, "Kill them NOW, or LATER?" Askin' ME! "Kill them now, or later?" Noon by the clock And so still at the dock You can hear a foghorn miles away And in that quiet of death I'll say, "Right now. Right now!" Then they pile up the bodies And I'll say, "That'll learn ya!" And the ship The Black Freighter Disappears out to sea And On It Is Me |

Oh Daughter, dear Daughter, Take warning from me And don't you go marching With the N-A-A-C-P. For they'll rock you and roll you And shove you into bed. And if they steal your nuclear secret You'll wish you were dead. (refrain:) Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay. Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay. Oh Mother, dear Mother, No, I'm not afraid. For I'll go on that march And I'll return a virgin maid. With a brick in my handbag And a smile on my face And barbed wire in my underwear To shed off disgrace. (Refrain) One day they were marching. A young man came by With a beard on his cheek And a gleam in his eye. And before she had time To remember her brick... They were holding a sit-down On a nearby hay rig. (Refrain) For meeting is pleasure And parting is pain. And if I have a great concert Maybe I won't have to sing those folk songs again. Oh Mother, dear Mother I'm stiff and I'm sore From sleeping three nights On a hard classroom floor. (Refrain) One day at the briefing She'd heard a man say, "Go perfectly limp, And be carried away." So when this young man suggested It was time she was kissed, She remembered her brief And did not resist. (Refrain) Oh Mother, dear Mother, No need for distress, For the young man has left me His name and address. And if we win Tho' a baby there be, He won't have to march Like his da-da and me. |

It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, And, you know though well, it's not 'cause I couldn't, It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. My poor heart is achin' To bring home the bacon, And if I find myself alone and forsaken, It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town. Though I'm more than willing to learn How these gals get so much extra money to burn, Every little proposition I just turn it down, 'Way down, It's not 'cause I wouldn't, It's not 'cause I shouldn't, honey, And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't, It's simply because I'm the laziest, laziest gal in town. |

(by Oscar Hammerstein II;Richard Rodgers)
This is a man who thinks with his heart His heart is not always wise This is a man who stumbles and falls But this is a man who tries This is a man you'll forgive and forgive And help and protect as long as you live He will not always say What you would have him say But now and then he'll say something wonderful The thoughtless things he'll do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once he'll do something wonderful He has a thousand dreams that won't come true You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you You'll always go along with Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful He'll always need your love And so you'll get your love 'Cause a man who needs your love Can be wonderful |

When life seems full of clouds and rain
I am filled with an awkward pain Who soothes my achin', thumpin' brain? - Nobody When winter comes with snow and sleet I'm so tired with cold feet Who says: "Here's two bits Nina honey, go and eat?" - Nobody I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get me somethin', yes, from somebody, sometime Well, I don't intend to do nothin' For no body, no time Now when winter comes all cool and clear My friends they see me comin' near Who says: "Come on in child and have a beer?" - Nobody When all day long things go amiss I go home to find some bliss Who hands to me a glowing kiss? - Nobody I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never got nothin' from no body - no time And until I get me somethin', from somebody, sometime I don't intend to do nothin' For no body, nobody, no time, no time, no body, no time! |

Say when the sun will shine again I only know I want your kiss Of this I'm sure I never miss the moon's bright light The magic of a starry night It's just your lovin' arms I miss Of this I'm sure (Come back, come back, Come back to my heart) Oh oh, what good am I without you? (I cry, and cry 'Cause we are apart) I need you so, Darling I do Uncertain as some things can be I know that you belong to me I also know that we'll endure Of this I'm sure |

'Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming all alone All her lovely companions Aare faded and gone No flower of her kindred No rose bud is nigh To reflect back her blushes Or give sigh for sigh So soon may I follow When friendships decay And from love's shining circle The gems drop away When true hearts lie withered And fond ones are flown Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone |

Others will end behind bars What the future has in store no one ever knows before Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn When my luck is returning All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving Make life worth living Now it's my life I'm living My only concern for tomorrow is my turn Now the summer is gone, there's another to come You can't stop years from drifting by even if you want to try Though time may help you forget all that has happened before But honey it's too late to regret what is gone will be no more Tomorrow is my turn When my luck is returning All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning Tomorrow is my turn No more doubts no more fears Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving Make life worth living Now it's my life I'm living My only concern for tomorrow is my turn |

Ne me Quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier Qui s'enfuit deja Oublier le temps/Des malentendus Et le temps perdu A savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois A coups de pourquoi/Le coeur du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Moi je t'offrirai Des perles de pluie/Je creuserai la terre Jusqu'apres ma mort Pour couvrir ton corps D'or et de lumiere Je ferai un domaine Ou l"amour sera roi/ Ou l'amour sera loi Ou tu seras reine Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je 'inventerai Des mots insenses/Que tu comprendras Je te parlerai De ces amants-la Qui ont vu deux fois/Leurs coeurs s'embraser Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas/Pu te rencontrer Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu/De l'ancien volcan Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est parait-il Des terres brulees/Donnant plus de ble Qu'un meilleur avril Et quand vient le soir Pour qu'un ciel flamboie Le rouge et le noir Ne s'epousent-ils pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je ne vais plus pleurer Je ne vais plus parler/Je me cacherai la A te regarder Danser et sourire Et a t'ecouter Chanter et puis rire Laisse-moi devenir/L'ombre de ton ombre L'ombre de ta main L'ombre de ton chien mais Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas |

Years, they will come and go
Sometimes the tears will flow Some of my memories will fade But I'll always remember that one September day I used to reminisce 'Cause I thought that love was bliss How did they know it would go astray It began and it ended on one September day We met by chance As people often do But it blossomed, yes it blossomed Into something I never knew Now... It is in the past They said it would never last I'll not forget the moment back Nor hot May or December Nor June or November But one September day |

Red is the color of a lot of lollipops, Orange is any orange on a tree. Yellow's the color of a bag of lemon drops, Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea. Blue is the color of the sky in summertime Indigo is a Siamese cat's eyes. Violet's the color of a flow'r in wintertime. These are the colors of the rainbow skies. There is a beautiful land Where all your dreams come true; It's all tied up in a rainbow, All shiny and new; But it's not easy to find No matter what you do. It's not on top of a mountain Or beneath the deep blue sea Or in London zoo or in Timbuktoo, Or in Timbuckthree. And if you travelled the world From China to Peru, There's no beautiful land on the chart. An explorer could not begin To discover its origin For the beautiful land is in your heart. |

You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery You mustn't show a trace of sadness Never look for sympathy You've got to learn although it's very hard The way of pocketing your pride Sometimes face humiliation While you were burning up inside Facing reality is often hard to do When it seems happiness is gone You've got to learn to hide your tears And tell your heart life must go on You've got to learn to leave the table When love's no longer being served To show everybody that you're able To leave without saying a word You've got to learn to hide your sorrow And go on living as before What good is thinking of tomorrow Who knows what it may have in store You've got to learn to be much stronger At times your head must rule your heart You've got to learn from hard experience And listen to advice And sometimes pay the price And learn to live with a broken heart |

Going where my father waits for me, oh baby, Going where my father waits for me, Going there 'cause there I'd rather be, oh baby, Where the chilly winds, the chilly winds don't blow. Yes there will be red roses round my door, darlin' baby, There will be red roses round my door, Going where they'll welcome me for sure, oh baby Where the chilly wind, the chilly wind don't blow. Chilly winds, chilly winds, the chilly winds don't blow. |

Southern trees Bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves And blood at the roots Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees Pastoral scene Of the gallant south Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh Here is a fruit For the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter cropSouthern trees bear 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 magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter cry. |

You ain't never been blue, no, no, no You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along bluesI always get that mood indigo Since my baby said goodbye And in the evening when the lights are low I'm so lonely I could cry For there's nobody who cares about me I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be When I get that mood indigo I could lay me down and dieYou ain't never been blue, no, no, no You ain't never been blue Till you've had that mood indigo That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes While I just sit here and sigh Go along blues |

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails,
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails. And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair - anywhere. The other woman enchants her clothes with French perfume. The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room. There are never toys scattered anywhere... And when her old man comes to call, He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen. 'cause when she's by his side it's such a change from her old routine. But... The other woman will always cry herself to sleep. The other woman will never have his love to keep. And, as years go by... The other woman will spend her real life alone. |

And be what I want to be When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because I brings me back you...Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Listen to me... I cannot see clearly Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love... |
