1. _ Rags And Old Iron
Norman curtis, oscar brown jr
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
I heard that old rag man now making his rounds
He came right to my alley lord with sorrowful sounds
Crying rags old iron and pulling his cart
Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
So i asked that old rag man how much he would pay
For a heart that was broken baby when you went away
For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams
And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
For those big empty promises you used to make
For those memories of you that are no longer sweet
I wish he could haul them off down the street
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
When love doesn't last tell me what is it worth
It was once mama's most precious possession on earth
When i asked that old rag man if he'd like to buy
He just shook his head and continued to cry
Rags old iron rags old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
Rags old iron rags old iron
Rags old iron rags old iron rags old iron

2. _ No Good Man
Dan fisher, irene higginbotham, sammy gallop
No good man
Loving on a no good plan never treats me as he should
And that ain't good he's always bringing me down
He's no saint heaven knows taht's what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly and not on me
I'm the one who gets the run around
I ought to hate him but still i love him so
Cos i require love that's made of fire
And in his arms i find always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began tere's been other folks like me
Born to be in love with a no good man
I ought to hate him but still i love him so
Cos you see i require love that's made of fire
And in his arms i find always get that kind
No good man
Ever since the world began tere's been other folks like me
Born to be in love with a no good man

3. _ I'll Look Around
Cross, cory
I'll look around
And when i've found me somebody who laughs like you
I know somewhere spring must fill the air with sweetness
Just as rare as a flower that you gave me to wear
So i'll look around
Sweetheart and when i've found me somebody
Somebody who laughs like you
I'll know this love that i've been dreaming of
And it won't be the old love that i always knew
Mmm who laughs like you
I know somewhere spring must fill the air with sweetness
Just as rare as a flower that you gave me to wear
So i'll look around
And when i've found me somebody who laughs like you
I'll know this love that i've been dreaming of
And it won't be the old love that i always knew

4. _ Memphis In June
(1945) paul francis webster, hoagy carmichael
Memphis in june
A shade veranda under sunday blue sky
Memphis in june
And my cousin miranda she's making a blueberry pie
I can see the clock outside a ticking and a tocking
Everything so peaceful and dandy
I can see my grandmama 'cross the street still a rocking
Watching all the neighbours go by oh my
Memphis in june
Sweet oleander blowing perfume in the air everywhere
Up jumps the moon to make it so much grander
It's paradise honey take my advice honey
Cos there's nothing loke old memphis in june

5. _ Work Song
Oscar brown jr, nat adderley
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Because they done convicted me of crime
Hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go
I commited crime lord i needed
Crime of being hungry and poor
I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)
When they caught me robbing his store
Hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go
I heard the judge say five years
On chain-gang you gonna go
I heard the judge say five years labor
I heard my old man scream "lordy, no!"
Hold it right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go
Gonna see my sweet honey bee
Gonna break this chain off to run
Gonna lay down somewhere shady
Lord i sure am hot in the sun
Hold it right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Workin' and workin'
Been
Workin' and slavin'
An'
Workin' and workin'
But i still got so terribly far to go

6. _ Forbidden Fruit
Oscar brown jr
Eve and adam had a garden everything was great
Till one day a VOICE says pardon miss my name is snake
See that apple over yonder if you'll take a bite
You and adam both are bound to have some fun tonight
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it
The lord had said in the beginning everything is free
Except that apple that leads to sinning so let that apple be
But eve got tempted so she tried it and as all chicks do
TeaseD her man till he decided he'd just try some too
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and bite it i bet you'd be delighted
I hate to tell you all what followed the lord was most upset
Saw them making love and hollered what have you tWo ET
And when they made a full confession the lord said hm i see
I guess i'll have to teach you a lesson about not minding me
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
NOW You're all indebted AND you"RE gonna get it
The lord made eve adam's MISTRESS have his kids and all
Placed some labour laws on adam and he made the snake to fall
Ever since the days of eden folks been sinful my
Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it
Oh go ahead and bite it i bet you'd be delighted
WELL You WENT AND did it now you'll gonna get it
Forbidden fruit

7. _ Just Say I Love Him
(1930) val, dale, kalmanoff, ward, enzo fusco, rodolfo falvo
Just say that i need him as roses need the rain
And tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain
Just say i love him loved him from the start
And tell him that i'm yearning to say what's in my heart
Just say that i need him as roses need the rain
Tell him that without him my dreams are all in vain
If you should chance to meet him anytime anyplace anywhere
Say i was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Just won't you tell him that i love him
And want him back again
If you should see him anytime anyplace anywhere
Tell him i was a fool to leave him
Tell him how much a fool can care
And if he tells you he's lonely now and then
Won't you just say i love him and want him back again
Won't you just say i love him and want him back again

8. _ Where Can I Go Without You
(1953) peggy lee, victor young
I went to london town to clear up my mind
Then on to paris for the fun i could find
I found i couldn't leave my memories behind
Where can i go without you
Tried seeing singapore that wouldn't do
So i went vienna but i found you where too
Even in switzerland your memory came through
Where can i go without you
So i wanted to travel and i wanted romance
So i just took off and chased my rainbow across the sea
But it's all over i'm tired of faces and quanit old places
Baby if you won't be there with me
Back on the boat again farewell to france
So long west germany it hasn't got a chance
I'll trade the sides i've seen for one loving glance
Where can i go without you

Stay away from me cos i'm in my sin
Stay away from me everybody cos i'm in my sin
If this joint is raided somebody give my gin
Don't try me nobody cos you will never win
Mm yeah don't try me nobody cos you will never win

When i'm feeling high i don't have nothing to do
Oh when i'm feeling high i don't have nothing to do
Just fill me full of good liquor i'll sure be nice to you
Any bootlegger show him a pal of mine any old time

Cos a good bottle of gin will get it everytime

Oh oh stay away from me cos i'm in my sin
Oh oh stay away from me yeah everybody cos i'm in my sin
If this joint is raided somebody give me my gin
Somebody give me my gin
