"God Bless The Child"

"God Bless The Child"

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says 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 get smart
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
They're crowding around your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give crusts 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
That's got his own

"Gone With The Wind"

"Gone With The Wind"

Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven on my fingertips.
But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Gone with the wind.

Gone with the wind,
Just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind,
My romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses
Are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven
At my fingertips.

But now all is gone,
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Gone with the wind,
The gladness that filled my heart.
Just like a flame,
Love burned brightly then became
An empty smokedream
That is gone with the wind!

Now all is gone,
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Gone with the wind,
The gladness that filled my heart.

Love burned brightly then became
An empty smokedream
That has gone, gone with the wind!

"Good Morning Heartache"

"Good Morning Heartache"

Good morning, heartache, you ole gloomy sight
Good morning, heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you
but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning, heartache, what's new?

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues

Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin’ around
Good morning, heartache, sit down
Sit down
Sit down

"Goody Goody"
(with Lady Gaga)

So you met someone who
set you back on your heels,
goody goody!
So you met someone and
now you know how it feels,
goody goody!
So you gave him your heart too,
just as I gave mine to you,
and he broke it in little pieces,
and now how do you do?

So you lie awake
just singing the blues all night,
goody goody!
So you think that love's a
barrel of dynamite,
hurray and hallelujah!
You had it coming to ya,
goody goody for him,
goody goody for me,
and I hope you're satisfied
you rascal you...

So you met someone who
set you back on your heels,
goody goody!
So you met someone and
now you know how it feels,

So you gave him your heart too,
just as I gave mine to you,
and he broke it in little pieces,
and now how do you do?

So you lie awake
just singing the blues all night,
goody goody!
So you think that love's a barrel
of dynamite,
Oo-oo, hurray and hallelujah!
You had it coming to ya,
goody goody for him,
goody goody goody for me!
Your love has been denied,
you've been taken for a ride,
and I hope you're satisfied
you rascal you!

"Got Her Off My Hands"

"Got Her Off My Hands"

I got her off my hands,
Now since she's off my hands,
I can't get her off my mind.

Haven't slept a wink in a week,
I'm up with the shadows,
Playing hide and seek.
gee,
I never thought that I would
be the one to cry,
but now I'm the cry-in-est kind.

Nobody knows how my poor heart aches,
I guess I'm really paying
For my mistakes.

So, I got her off my hands,
and since she's off my hands,
I can't get her out my mind.

Nobody knows how my poor heart aches,
I guess I'm really paying
For my mistakes.

So, I got her off my hands,
and since she's off my hands,
I can't get her out my mind.

"Got The Gate On The Golden Gate"

"Got The Gate On The Golden Gate"

Went for a walk on day alone
Down around the bay
I guess you could say that it was fate
How else could I have met my love
On the Golden Gate?

She strolled along the bridge, and she
Was the cutest pigeon, gee
Did you never palpitate?
Well, you’d have swooned to see her there
On the Golden Gate

I looked into her eyes
And foggy skies were clear
Just when I thought love was here
What a switch
Along came a Cadillac
It stopped and she got in back
Alas and alack, she had a date

I finally found the love I longed for too late
I have no gold and got the gate on the Golden Gate

I hung around to see if she would reappear
But no such luck and now it’s clear I’m a goner

Now every day I stroll along
Down around the bay
I guess I’ll simply chalk it up to fate

And that’s what happens to you when you don’t rate
I had no gold and got the gate on the Golden Gate

"Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe"

"Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe"

It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow.
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they see little Joe passing by.
Sometimes the cabin is gloomy and the table is bare,
But when he kisses her it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go, easy go, easy go, easy go.
Does he love her good? That's all she needs to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
Little Joe, little Joe

"Harlem Butterfly"

"Harlem Butterfly"

Harlem butterfly
The moon got in your eye
The night you were born

Harlem butterfly
You listened to the cry
Of some lonely horn

That combination
Left you a mark
That you’ll never, never lose

While you chase some will o’ the wisp
In the dark
Your heart keeps singing the blues

Oh, Harlem butterfly
The writing’s in the sky
You’ll come to no good

But I’m not blaming you
I’m certain I would do
The same if I could

But even though a candle
Burned at the ends
Can never last out the night

Harlem butterfly
It really makes a lovely light

Harlem butterfly
Goodnight

"Have I Told You Lately?"

"Have I Told You Lately?"

Often through the day
As I work away
I resolve to get home early
With roses for my girly
And kiss her hand, her lips, her nose,
And say:

Have I told you lately you look so lovely,
Each time I see you my heart melts away?

In the rush of little everyday things
Sometimes you don’t say things
You mean to say

Have I mentioned lately I’m glad you took me
Instead of hooking someone with a million or two?

When I think of all the girls I could have been stuck with
I sure was in luck with the one I drew

Have I told you lately how much your husband loves you?
