Ethel Waters piosenki

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I k...

What have I got that the others ain't That always seems to please T'ain't my perfume, nor my fancy paint But when I charm the men all swarm Just like they was bees There's honey in the honeycomb There's sugar in the cane There's oysters in a real oyster stew...

Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid. It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse. My luck is changing, it's gotten from simply rotten to something worse Who knows, some day I will win too. I'll begin to reach my prime. Now though I see what our end is, All I can sp...

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh Don't need what money can buy Birds in the trees sing their day full of song Why shouldn't we sing along? I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot How do I get that way? Look at what I've got I got rhythm, I got music I...

Many months have come and gone Since you called me on the phone To tell me that we were threw You'd thought it would break my heart But I fooled you from the start Because I never did trust you Well you'd thought you're mighty wise To run around with other...

Everybody look at me, Happy girlie, you will see, I've got someone nice, oh, gee! Oh, joy, what bliss! Just the treasure that I need, Pure as gold and guaranteed, Is he handsome? Yes, indeed! Let me tell you this I found a new baby, A sweet honey boy...

If you ever change your mind, Come back the minute that you do! I'll welcome you with open arms, Because I'm still in love with you! If you ever change your mind And think you've made a big mistake, Don't be afraid to let me know, We'll try again for old time...

It's only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me Yes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me Without your love It's a honky-ton...

Stop the traffic to Dixie Hold it right on the line Don’t want nothing come betwixt me And that old home of mine I’m so homesick andlonely Every hour seems a day For there’s one and one only Understands what I say I’m comin’ Virginia, I’m comin’ to stay; Don...

I don't care what the weatherman says When the weatherman says it's raining You'll never hear me complaining I'm certain the sun will shine I don't care how the weather vane points When the weather vane points to gloomy It's gotta be sunny to me When your eyes...

Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, if you please Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. I am weak, but Thou art strong, Oh Lord, keep me from all wrong, I’ll be satisfied as long As I walk, dear Lord, close with Thee. Just...

My darling all around us people clamour They're striving for the thing they'll never own The only thing that hasn't lost its glamour Is love, and love alone What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor Fortune and fame they never endure For love is the thi...

Jim Johnson took me home last night, 'Twas the first time that we'd met, He claimed to be a small-town sheik, And all his jive he bet, He rest his hat and coat and said, "Here I'll stay." But his feathers fell when he heard me say: Not on the first night, bab...

Waking skies At Sunrise, Every sunset too, Seems to be Bringing me Memories of you. Here and there, Everywhere, Scenes that we once knew, And they all Just recall Memories of you. How I wish I could forget Those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of t...

Daddy, Daddy, please come back to me! Daddy, Daddy, please come back to me! Your mama's lonesome as she can be. You left at midnight, Clock was striking twelve, Papa, you left me at midnight, When the clock was striking twelve, To face this cruel world...

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today She is sorry to be delayed But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When she woke up and found Tha...

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast" And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last" We seemed to float right through the air Heavenly so...

Whoever said a good man was hard to find, Postively, absolutely sure was blind; I found the best that ever was, Here's just some of the things he does: He shakes my ashes, greases my griddle, Churns my butter, strokes my fiddle; My man is such a handy m...

You may wonder what's the reason For this great big smile; Say, I haven't been so happy In the longest while! Got a big load off my mind, Here's the papers, sealed and signed; And the judge was nice and kind, All through the trial. This ends the five...

Day-light gives me the shivers, Harlem did it some-how. Always hav-ing the jitters, Should be used to it now. Seventh Av-en-ue night life, Gets me bod-y and soul, Len-ox Av-en-ue mid-night, Gets my Sat-ur-day roll. Old Man Harlem gives me Sunday head-...
