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 |

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............ |

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you |

Walter Gross / Jack Lawrence
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly |

Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York, it spells the thrill of first-nighting. Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel; they're making me feel: I'm home. It's autumn in New York that brings the promise of new love. Autumn in New York is often mingled with pain. Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands; It's autumn in New York; It's good to live it again. Autumn in New York, the gleaming rooftops at sundown Autumn in New York, it lifts you up when you're let down jaded roues and gay divorces who lunch at the Ritz will tell you that it's devine It's autumn in New York transforms the slums into Mayfair Autumn in New York, you'll need no castle in Spain Lovers that bless the dark On benches in Central Park Greet autumn in New York, It's good to live it again |

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 |

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time Life is bare, gloom and mis'ry everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poorself together, I'm weary all the time So weary all the time When he went away the blues walked in and met me. If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me. All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more. Can't go on, ev'ry thing I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time |

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 |

Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do to you You're in love Your heart's a flutter and all day long You only shutter Cuz your poor tongue Just won't utter the words I love you Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do Wait a while Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through You'll get bold You can't resist him And all you'll say When you have kissed him is Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do |

I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has a turning That's one thing you're learning I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I've found two eyes Just a little bit bluer I've found a heart Just a little bit truer I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me |

You're just to marvelous Too marvelous for words Like glorious, glamorous And that old standby amorous It's all too wonderful I'll never find the phrase That says enough, tells enough I mean just aren't swell enough You're much too much, and just too very very To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds To tell you that you're marvelous Too marvelous for words |

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 |

Duke Ellington / Irving Gordon / Irving Mills
If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew That was my heart serenading you My PRELUDE TO A KISS If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A PRELUDE TO A KISS Though it's just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing much You could turn it to a simphony a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch Oh! How My love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A PRELUDE TO A KISS. |

George and Ira Gershwin
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 Thats the best work of all if you can get it Holding 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 try Just 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? |

I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never new my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees April in Paris, this is a feeling That no one can ever reprise I never knew the charm of spring I never met it face to face I never new my heart could sing I never missed a warm embrace Till April in Paris Whom can I run to What have you done to my heart |

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain I'm glad your 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 endures All my thoughts 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 * |

We lived our little drama.
We kissed in a field of white And stars fell on Alabama last night. I can't forget the glamour. Your eyes held a tender light And stars fell on Alabama last night. I never planned in my imagination A situation so heavenly. A fairy land where no one else could enter And in the center, just you and me, dear. My heart beat like a hammer. My arms wound around you tight And stars fell on Alabama last night. We lived our little drama. We kissed in a field of white And stars fell on Alabama last night. I can't forget the glamour.

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place Except you and me So set 'em' up joe, I got a little story I think you should know We're drinking my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I know the routine, put another nickel In the machine I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music Easy and sad I could tell you a lot, but it's not In a gentleman's code Make it one for my baby And one more for the road You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's talked away Well that's how it goes, and joe I know your gettin' Anxious to close Thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found, it's gotta be drowned Or it's gonna explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road |

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? |

Jimmy Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn
When somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you - all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you - all the way Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel Deeper than the deep blue see is That's how deep it goes - if its real When somebody needs you It's no good unless he needs you - all the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in between years - come what may Who knows where the road will lead us Only a fool would say But if you'll let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way |
