1.St.louis Blues
W.c. handy
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'cause, my baby, he's gone left this town
Fellin' tomorrow like i feel today
If i'm feelin' tomorrow like i feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her
If it wasn't for her and her
That man i love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the st. louis blues
Blues as i can be
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye
I love my man till the day i die
2.Loveless Love
W.c. handy
Love is like a hydrant turns off and on
Like some friendships when your money's gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks when your heart's in tongs
It i had some strong wings like an aeroplane
Had some broad wings like an aeroplane
I would fly away forever
Hover to come again
Oh love oh love oh loveless love
Has said our hearts are goldiess gold
From milkless milk and silkless silk
We are growing used to soul-less souls
Such grafting times we never saw
That's why we have a pure full law
In everything we find a flaw
Even love oh love oh loveless love
Just to fly away from loveless love
3.Let's Do It
Cole porter
Chinks do it. japs do it
Upper lapland little lapps do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
In spain the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and let's do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
The dutch in old amsterdam do it
Not to mention the finns
Folks in siam do it
Think of siamese twins
Some argentines without means do it
People say in boston even beans do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Cold cape cod clams
'gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jelly fish do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Electric eels i might add do it
Though it shocks'em i know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe
In the shallow shoals english soles do it
Goldfish in privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it
We'll do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
4.Georgia On My Mind
Stuard gorrell ／ hoagy carmichael
Georgia
Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind
Georgia
Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clean as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach ot to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams i see the roads leads back to you
Georgia
Georgia, no peace i find
Just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind
5.Romance In The Dark
Sam coslow ／ g. nelsen
Romance in the dark with you
All at once i knew
Darlin' love was near
I thrill to my finger tips
I could feel your lips
Darlin' oh so near
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When i found romance in the dark with you
6.All Of Me
Seymour simons ／ gerald marks
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am i to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can i go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
7.I'm In A Low Down Groove
R. jacobs
I'm in a lowdown groove
From carrying a torch for you
Oh, what a lowdown groove
Really don't know what to do
My heart has no sense of humor
Dear, as far as you're concerned
It's more than a winchell rumor
This time i really got burned
I don't need a song to prove
That i'm in such a lowdown groove
8.God Bless The Child
Billie holiday ／ arthur herzog jr.
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own
9.Am I Blue？
Harry akst ／ grant clarke
It was a morning, long before dawn
Without a warning i found he was gone
How could he do it
Why should he do it
He never done it before
Am i blue
Am i blue
Ain't these tears, in these eyes telling you
How can you ask me 'am i blue'
Why, wouldn't you be too
If each plan
With your man
Done fell through
There was a time
When i was his only one
But now i'm
The sad and lonely one...lonely
Was i gay
Untill today
Now he's gone, and we're through
Am i blue
10.Solitude
Duke ellington ／ eddie delange ／ irving mills
In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by
In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and i stare
I know that i'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear lord above
Send back my love
11.Jim
Nelson a. shawn ／ caesar petrillo ／ edward ross ／ milton samuels
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don't know why i'm so crazy for jim
Jim never tells me i'm his heart's desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years i've wasted on him
Sometimes when i get feelin' low
I say let's call it quits
Then i hang on and let him go breakin' my heart in bits
Someday i know that jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for jim
I'll go on lovin' my jim
12.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
13.Love Me Or Leave Me
Walter donaldson ／ gus kahn
This affair is killin' me
I can't stand uncertainly
Tell me now i've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or to go
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, i love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with someone else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin'
With somebody else
There'll be no one
Unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love
But i don't want to borrow
To have it today to give it back tomorrow
For your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else
14.Gloomy Sunday
Carter ／ s. lewis ／ r. seress
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn't they be angry
If i thought of joining you？
Gloomy sunday
Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows i spend it all
My heart and i
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said i know
But let them not weep
Let them know that i'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death i'm caressin' you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessin' you
Gloomy sunday
Dreaming, i was only dreaming
I wake and i find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling i hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin' you
How much i wanted you
Gloomy sunday
15.Wherever You Are
Cliff friend ／ charlie tobias
Everywhere in every home
Hope is burning bright
While millions of hearts
Are kneeling, saying, 'tonight!'
Wherever you are
Our hearts are with you
Wherever you are
Our prayers are with you too
All through the darkness
Our faith is your guiding star
May god bless you all
Wherever you are
16.Mandy Is Two
Fulton mcgrath ／ johnny mercer
Mandy is two
You ought to see her eyes of cornflower blue
They really look as it they actually knew
That she's a big girl now
Mandy is two
You ought to see how many things she can do
She knows her alphabet
And ties her own shoes
And no one showed her how
If you could see her majesty
With braids in her hair
Almost as though her sunday beau
Came around and brought her an orchid to wear
Mummy is blue
Because her little girl is going on three
But miss amanda she's as proud as can be
Cause she's a big girl now
17.It's A Sin To Tell A Lie
Billy mayhew
Be sure it's true when you say
'i love you'
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken
I love you
Yes i do
I love you
If you break my heart i'll die
So be sure that it's true when you say
'i love you'
It'a sin to tell a lie
18.Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Sammy kahn ／ saul chaplin ／ mann holiner ／ alberta nichols ／
l.e. freeman
I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can i say？
I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can i say？
I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die tor you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
