Well once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn't care Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time Buyin' boot leg liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Couldn't find me no friends Had no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grinsI said nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, you ain't got one penny And your friends, you didn't have any Just as soon as you get up on your feet again Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend Oh lord without a doubt Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you When you're down and outI sayNobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you when you're down and out |

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. |

Love me love me love me
Say you do Let me fly away with you For my love is like the wind And wild is the windGive me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness Let the wind blow through your heart For wild is the windYou... touch me... I hear the sound of mandolins You... kiss me... With your kiss my life begins You're spring to me All things to meDon't you know you're life itself Like a leaf clings to a tree Oh my darling, cling to me For we're creatures of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the windWild is the wind Wild is the wind |

Break down and let it all outI've held back my tears Just as long as I could But now my eyes can see It's all over for you and me And holding back ain't gonna do no goodI'm gonna break down and let it all out Break down and let it all outI've hidden my heart too many times before Now my aching heart knows that we're apart And I can't hide it anymoreSo I'm gonna break down and let it all out Break down and let it all outI remember when you used to love me and oh how sweet it was... but it's not enough just to remember, 'cause what good is the past? once upon a time... All those old memories can set my heart at ease So before I loose my mind...yeahI'm gonna break down and let it all out Break down and let it all outMy eyes are open and now I see it's all over for you and me Break down and let it all out Break down and let it all outNow my aching heart knows that we're apart Break down and let it all out Break down and let it all outAll those old memories can set my heart at ease Break down and let it all out Break down and let it all out... |

I lost myself on a cool damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see... 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... |

I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring With these few goodbye words How can I sing Goodbye old sleepy head I'm packing you in like I saidTake care of everything I'm leaving my wedding ring Don't look for me I'll get a hand Remember darling Don't smoke in bedDon't look for me I'll get a hand Remember darling Don't smoke in bed |
