REBECCA FERGUSON LYRICS
album: "Lady Sings The Blues" (2015)
Get Happy
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I'm your sinner, gather 'round
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
All the sinners I have found
A land where the will forever run free
Come you sinners, just follow me
Forget your troubles and just get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the Judgment Day!
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land!
We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful, on the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the Judgment Day!
We're headin' across the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful, on the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the Judgment Day!
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah c'mon get happy
C'mon c'mon get happy
C'mon c'mon get happy
Someone is waiting to take your hand
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You better chase all your cares away

Fine And Mellow
My man, he don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home every day
But, iIf you treat me right baby
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Some times when you think it's on, baby
It has turned off and gone
That boys gonna drive me away
That boys gonna drive me away
That boys gonna drive me away

Embraceable You
Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
Just one look at you,
My heart could tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me
I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama
Come to mama
My sweet embraceable you
I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama
Come to mama
My sweet embraceable you

That Ole Devil Called Love
It's that ole devil called love again,
Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again,
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams,
And rocks in my heart.
It's that sly ole son of a gun again,
He keeps telling me, that I'm the lucky one again.
But I still have that rain, still have those tears,
And those rocks in my heart.
S'pose I didn't stay - ran away - wouldn't play,
The devil what a potion, he would brew.
He'd just follow me around, build me up and tear me down,
Till I'll be so bewildered, I wont know what to do.
Might as well, give up the fight again.
Cause I know darn well, he'll convince me, that he's right again.
When he sings that sorry song, I'm just gonna tag along,
With that ole devil called love...

Blue Moon
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own

I Thought About You
I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
Winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream
And every stop that we made
Oh, I thought about you
But when I pulled down the shade
Then I really felt blue
I peeped through the crack
And looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do?
I just thought about you
I just thought about you
I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you
I peeped through the crack
And looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do?
I just thought about you
Yes I thought about you
I just thought about you
I just thought about you

Summertime
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing, singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With daddy and your dammy standin' by
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Don't you cry, don't you cry

I'll Never Smile Again
I'll never smile again, until I smile at you
]I'll never laugh again, what good would it do?
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart it would realize
That our romance is through
I'll never love again, I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again to somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you

Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be)
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, where can you be?
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
So I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, where can you be?
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
So I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet
Little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, where can you be?

All Of Me
All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see I'm no good without you?
Take my lips I want to lose them
Take my arms I'll never use them
Your goodbyes left me with eyes that cry
How can I go along without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see I'm no good without you?
Take my lips I want to lose them
Take my arms I'll never use them
Your goodbyes left me with eyes that cry
How can I go along without you
You took the best, so I'm not take the rest
So baby take all of me?

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
Money, you've got lots of friends
They're crowding around your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They won't come to you no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, just don't take too much
Cause 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 won't come to you no more
So the strong get smart
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
But God bless the child, God bless the child
God bless the child, God bless the child...

What Is This Thing Called Love
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just two can solve all its mystery's?
And why does it keep make an a fool lot of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd up in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
What is this thing called love?

And who can solve all its mystery's?

What is this thing called love?

Stormy Weather
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all of the time
raining all of the time
And my life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather,
Just can't get my poor self back together
Weary all of the time, weary all of the time
so weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away
That old rocking chair's gonna get me
So I'll just sit here and pray
That Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on,
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather, stormy weather
Since my man and I, ain't together
Keep on raining all of the time
keep on raining all of the time
Stormy weather

Lady Sings The Blues
Lady sing the blues,
she's got them bad,
she feels so sad.
And wants the world to know,
just what her blues are all about,
Lady sings the blues,
She tells her side,
nothing to hide.
And now the world will know,
just what her blues is all about
The blues ain't nothin' like a pain in your heart,
when you get a bad start,
when you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry,
I know I won't die,
'cause I love him
Lady sings the blues,
I'm tellin' you, she's got 'em bad,
but now the world will know,
she's never gonna sing them no more.
The blues ain't nothin' but a pain in your heart,
when you get a bad start,

Ain't gonna just sit around and cry,

Lady sings the blues,

Willow Weep For Me
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here
To weep my tears along the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say they love has sinned
To leave my heart sighing crying all alone
Murmur to the night
Hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
Crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
weep for me
weep for me
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me

Don't Explain
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad that you're back
Don't explain
Quiet baby, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, my sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours,
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
And I'm so completely yours
Go out know
Cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
Just you're with me, sweet
don't explain
Cause you're my joy and you're my pain
My life's yours,
Don't explain

My Man
It cost me a lot,
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet,
all of that I forget with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him...
I don't know why I should
He isn't good, he isn't true, he beats me do
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, and it's all right
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I'll come back on my knee someday
Whatever my man is, I am his forever more
It cost me a lot,
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet,
all of that I forget with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him
And I don't know why I should
He isn't good, he isn't true, he beats me do
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, and it's all right
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I'll come back on my knee someday
Whatever my man is, I am his forever more...
