Blue Prelude

Gordon jenkins, joe bishop
Let me sigh, let me cry when Im blue,
Let me go away from this lonely town,
Wont be long till my sun will be blue,
Cos I know Im on my last go round.
All the love I could steal, beg or borrow,
Wouldnt heal all the pain in my soul.
What is love? only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here I go - now you know why Im leaving.
Got the blues. what can I lose? goodbye!
What is love? only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here I go - now you know why Im leaving.
I got the blues. what can I lose? goodbye!

Wild Is The Wind

(1957) dimitri tiomkin, ned washington
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 wind
Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
Let the wind
Blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
You...
Touch me...
I hear the sound
Of mandolins
You...

Black Is The Color Of My True Loves Hair

Traditional
Black is the color of my true loves hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true loves hair
Of my true loves hair
Of my true loves hair
Oh I love my lover
And where he goes
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope
That the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one
So black is the color of my true loves hair
Black is the color of my true loves hair
Black is the color of my true loves hair

I Hold No Grudge

Angelo badalamenti, john clifford
I hold no grudge
Theres no resentment undneath
Ill extend the laurel wreath and well be friends
But right there is where it ends
I hold no grudge
And Ill forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesnt start again
Yes Im the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when I call it quits
Baby thats it
Im the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just aint my style
I hold no grudge
Deep inside me theres no regrets
But a gal whos been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

You Better Know It

(1956) duke ellington, straylor
I belong to you and I know I show it
You belong to me baby youd better know it
Give me all your love sugar spice and sweet honey
Dont you ever quit
Not for love or money Id do most anything
Just to amuse you
But thers nothing that I woulnt do
Thought that I would ever lose you
When I play the game I cant afford to blow it
Cos I play for keeps youd better know it
Yes Id do most anything just to amuse you
But theres nothing that I wouldnt do
If I ever thought Id lose you
When I play the game I cant afford to blow it
Cos I play for keeps you better know it

The Laziest Gal In Town

It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't,
And, you know though well, it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
My poor heart is achin'
To bring home the bacon,
And if I find myself alone and forsaken,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.
Though I'm more than willing to learn
How these gals get so much extra money to burn,
Every proposition I just turn it down,
'Way down,
It's not 'cause I wouldn't,
It's not 'cause I shouldn't, honey,
And, you know, that it's not 'cause I couldn't,
It's simply because I'm the laziest gal in town.

Hey, Buddy Bolden

(1956) billy strayhorn, duke ellington
Buddy bolden tune up
Blowing horn was his game
Born with a silver trumpet in his mouth
He played the horn before he talked
Born on the after beat
He patted his foot before walked
When buddy bolden tuned up you could hear him clean
Clean across the river clean across the river
He woke up the working people and kept the easy living
Call on buddy bolden call him buddy bolden
Watch it hes calling his flock now
Hes calling his flock now here they come
Call him buddy bolden hes calling his flock now
Here they come here they come
Come on buddy bolden here they come

Take Care Of Business

(1965) andy stroud
Dont talk just hold me closer
Let me sit on top of your knee
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me
Oh lord, dont keep me waiting
Be as firm as can be
Go ahead and take care of business
For me for me for me
In all my life no-one has touched me so close
Nor made me feel so sweet
I said to you you are gods gift to all womanhood
Take it from me take it from me
You know you know that I love you truly
And I want the whole round world to see
How you can take care of business
For me for me for me
Go take care of business for me
Yeah yeah go take care of business for me

Come Ye

Nina simone
Come ye ye who would have peace
Hear me what I say now
I say come ye ye who would have peace
Its time to learn how to pray
I say come ye ye who have no fear
What tomorrow brings child
Start praying for a better world
Or peace and all good things
I say come ye ye who still have hope
That we can still survive now
Lets work together as we should
And fight to stay alive
I say come ye ye who would have love
Its time to take a stand
Dont mind abuse it must be paid
For the love of your fellow man
I say come ye come ye
Who would have hope
Who would have hope

Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.
