letra de Cotton Eyed Joe
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He came to town like a midwinter storm

He rode through the fields so handsome and strong

His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun

But all he had come for was having some fun

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

He brought disaster wherever he went

The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent

They all ran away so nobody would know

And left only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

letra de Porgy
This song talk about the same Porgy

That we've talked about for two years now

His name is Porgy only this one was written by eh

Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh

I got my man now I got Porgy

My baby understands now I got my Porgy

I'm through with bymays his way is may way forever more

Lord when i feel his arms around me

Knowing he can't go on without me

I wants to beg for a chance to camp at his door

Say he's not much for to look and see

He's lazy and no count as he can be

He's got the kind of a love for me

So I'm changing my style my way of living

Glad I've stopped taking and started giving

I got my man got my Porgy now

Though you say he's not much for to look and see

He's lazy and no count as he can be

He's got the kind of a love for me

Oh oh baby I'm changing my style nad way of living

Glad I've stopped taking and started giving

I got my man I got my Porgy now

letra de Forbidden Fruit
Eve and Adam had a garden everything was great

Till one day a boy 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

Teaser 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 to add

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

You're all indebted now you gonna get it

The Lord made Eve Adam's madam 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

You always did it now you'll gonna get it

Forbidden fruit

letra de Summertime
Summertime and the livin's easy

Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high

Oh, yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good lookin'

So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry

One of these mornin's you goin' to rise and singin'

Then you'll spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky

But till that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy standin' by

letra de Work Song
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
You Can Have HimVer letra 5:52

letra de You Can Have Him
I don't want him you can have him

He's not worth fighting for

Besides there's plenty more where he came from

I don't want him you can have him

I'm giving him the sack

And he can go right back where he came from

I'm afraid I never loved him

Sweetie he'd be better off with you

I could never make him happy

All I ever wanted to do was

Run my fingers through his curly locks

Mend his underwear and darn his socks

Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes

Wipe his glasses when he's read the news

Rub his forehead with a gentle touch

Mornings after when he's had a little too much

Kiss him gently when he cuddles near

And give him babies one for every year

So you see that I don't want him you can have him

You can have him cos I don't want him

Because he's not the man for me

Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept

Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept

I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most

Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast

Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers

And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bed

So you see that I don't want him you can have him

You can have him cos I don't want him because he's not my man

I don't want him you can have him

You can have him I don't want him

You can have him I don't want him

Cos he's not the man for me

letra de Exactly Like You
I know why I waited

Know why I've been blue

I've been waiting each day

For someone exactly like you

Why should I spend some money

On a show or two

When nobody sings these love songs

Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand

I wanna give this world to you

You make me understand

These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming

And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama

She taught me to be true

She knew just around the corner

Was somebody like you

You make me feel so grand

I wanna give this world to you

Baby you make me understand

These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming

And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama

She taught me to be true

She knew just around the corner

Yes she knew just around the corner

Was somebody like you
