Lord I love my man, tell the world I do
I love my man, tell the world I do
But when he mistreats me, Makes me feel so blue
–
My man wouldn’t give me no breakfast,
Wouldn’t give me no dinner
Fought about my supper
and put me outdoors
Had the dark clay
make black spots on my clothes
I didn’t have so many
But I had a long, long way to go
-SOLO Instruments-
Some men like me talkin’ happy
Some calls it snappy,
Some call me honey,
Others think I got money
Some tell me
baby you’re built for speed
Now if you put that all together
Makes me everthing a good man needs
All The Things You Are
Time and again I’ve longed for adventure, Something to make my heart beat the faster. What did I long for? I never really knew. Finding your love I’ve found my adventure, Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster, All that I want in all of this world is you.
-A-
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
-B-
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
-C-
You are the angel glow that lights a star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
-D-
Some day my happy arms will hold you,
And some day I’ll know that moment divine,
When all the things you are, are mine!
I’ve Got You Under My Skin
-A-
I’ve got you under my skin.
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you’re really a part of me.
I’ve got you under my skin
-B.
I’d tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I’ve got you under my skin?
-C-
I’d sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin’ you near
In spite of a warnin’ voice that comes in the night
And repeats, and repeats in my ear:
-D-
Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin.
The Man I Love
-A1-
Someday he’ll come along, The man I love
And he’ll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I’ll do my best to make him stay
-A2-
He’ll look at me and smile, I’ll understand
And in a little while, He’ll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won’t say a word
-B-
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I’m sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
-A3-
He’ll build a little home, Just meant for two
From which I’ll never roam, Who would, would you?
And so, all else above,
I’m waiting for the man I love
Stormy Monday
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday’s just as bad.
I said They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday’s just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday’s worse
And Thursday’s all so sad.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
And Sunday I go to church,
And I Gonna kneel down and pray.
Solo guitare
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
I want and want to try to find my baby,
Won’t someone please send her home to me.
The Nearness Of You
-A1-
It’s not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you
-A2-
It isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you
-B-
When you’re in my arms
and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
-A3-
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you’ll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)
-Intro-
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words: hold my hand
In other words: baby, kiss me
-A-
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words: please, be true
In other words: I love you
-B-
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words: please, be true
In other words, in other words: I love you
All Of Me
-A-
All of me, why not take all of me?
Baby, can’t you see, I’m no good without you?
Take my lips, I’ll never use them
Take my arms, I want to lose them
-B-
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
Tell me how can I go on, dear, without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
-A-
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 lose ’em
Take my arms, I’ll never use them
-C-
Your g-g-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?
These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)
-Intro-
Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us
Are still around us
There’s no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
-A1-
A cigarette that bears a lipstick’s traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
-A2-
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fair ground’s painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
-B-
You came you saw you conquer’d me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
-A3-
The winds of March that make 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
-A1-
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
-A2-
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The “Ile de France” with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is Spring’s
These foolish things remind me of you
-B-
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
-A3-
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
-A1-
Gardenia perfume ling’ring on a pillow
Wild strawb’ries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
-A2-
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you
-B-
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
-A3-
The scent of smould’ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
Misty
-A1-
Look at me,
I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clingin’ to a cloud
I can’t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand
-A2-
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty, the moment you’re near
-B-
Can’t you see that you’re leading me on?
And it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you notice how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you
-A3-
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I’m too misty, and too much in love
-Outtro-
Too misty
And too much
In love
Georgia On My Mind
-A1-
Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart
Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part?
-A2-
Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world’s a song
I’ll go back to Georgia
‘Cause that’s where I belong
-B-
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
-A3-
Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
-A1-
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
-A2-
Georgia, Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
-B-
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
-A3-
Georgia, Georgia
No peace, I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
–
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Stormy Blues
I’ve been down so long
That down don’t worry me
I’ve been down so long
That down don’t worry me
I just sit and wonder
Where can my good man be
–
When it rains in here
It’s storming on the sea
When it rains in here
It’s storming on the sea
Every time I come here
Everything happens to me
–
I lose my man
I lose my head
I lose my money
Feel like I’m almost dead
I need you honey
Need you bad as can be
I’ve been down so long
That down don’t worry me
On The Sunny Side Of The Street
-A1-
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
-A2-
Can’t you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
-B-
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I’m not afraid ’cause this rover, crossed over
-A3
If I never had a cent I’ll be as rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
St James Infirmary
It was down in Old Joe’s barroom On the corner by the square The usual crowd was assembled And big Joe McKinney was there
He was standing at my shoulder His eyes were bloodshot red; He turned to the crowd around him These are the very words he said:
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair.
Chorus
Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She can look this wide world over
She’ll never find a sweet man like me.
When I die, bury me in straight lace shoes
want a boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys’ll know I died standin’ pat
I want six crap shooters for pall bearers Chorus girl to sing me a song Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon Raise Hell as I roll along
Round Midnight
-A1-
It begins to tell ’round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well, till after sundown
Suppertime I’m feelin’ sad;
But it really gets bad ’round midnight
-A2-
Memories always start ’round midnight
Haven’t got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And ol’ midnight knows it, too
-B-
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darlin’ I need you, lately I find
You’re out of my heart
And I’m out of my mind
-A3-
Let our hearts take wings’ ’round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing For your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around
Feelin’ sad
Really gets bad
Round…..round…….round….mid…..night….

Tennessee whiskey

“Tennessee Whiskey” (originally by David Allan Coe)
Used to spend my nights out in a barroom Liquor was the only love I’d known But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone
-B-
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You’re as sweet as strawberry wine You’re as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
-A-
I’ve looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottle’s always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn’t waste it ‘Cause there’s nothing like your love to get me high
-B-
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You’re as sweet as strawberry wine You’re as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
[Instrumental]
