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 |

Fine And Mellow
Billie Holiday My man don't love me Treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me Treats me awfully He's the, lowest man That I've ever see He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pan 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 repeat Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you do things That you know is wrong But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But you're so mean to me baby I know you're gonna drive me away Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone........... |

Never had nothing
No one to care That's why I seem to have More than my share I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that wayWhen I hurt his feelings Once in a while His only answer is one little smile I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that wayI can see no other way And no better plan End it all and let him go To some better gal But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me WestThough he loves to work And slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off If I went away But why should I leave him Why should I go He'd be unhappy without me I know I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way |

You Better Go Now
Irvin Graham / S. Bickley Reichner You better go now Because I like you much, too much You have a way with you You ought to know now Just why I like you very much The night was gay with you There's the moon above And it gives my heart a lot of swing In your eyes there's love And the way I feel it must be spring I want you so now You have lips I love to touch You better go now You better go, 'cause I like you much, too much |

There is no greater love
than what I feel for you No greater love No hearts so true There is no greater thrill than what you bring to me No sweeter song than what you sing to me You're the sweetest thing I have ever known Than to think you are mine alone There is no greater love And all the words is true No greater love than what I feel for you You're the sweetest thing I have ever known Than to think you are mine alone There is no greater love And all the words is true No greater love than what I feel for you |

I Cover The Waterfront
Johnny W. Green / Edward Heyman Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return Will the one I love Be coming back To me............ |

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that is'nt necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant Fall in love you won't regret it That''s the best work of all if you can get itHolding hands at midnight 'Neath the starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Scrolling with the one girl Sighing after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you tryJust imagen someone waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for more Loving one who loves you And taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if Won't you tell me how? |

It cost me a lot
But theres one thing that I've got Its my man Its my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'lll soon forget With my man He is not much on looks He is no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him Two or three girls has he That he likes as well as me But I love him I dont know why I should He isn't true He beats me, too What can I do? Oh, my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just a spare But I dont care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright All right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday For whatever my man is I'm his forevermore |

wished on the moon
For something I never knew Wished on the moon For more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky On april days that would not dance by I begged on the stars To throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars And asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness It all came true I wished on the moon for you |

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be? The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a 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 a 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 ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be? |
