Hard Hearted Hannah - Ray Charles, Betty Carter

In old Savannah

I said Savannah

The weather there is nice and warm

The climate’s of a southern brand

But here’s what I don’t understand

They got a gal there

A pretty gal there

Who’s colder than an arctic storm

Got a heart just like a stone

Even icemen leave her alone

They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah

The meanest gal in town

Leather is tough, but Hannah’s heart is tougher

She’s a gal who likes to see men suffer

To tease 'em and thrill 'em

To torture and kill ‘em

Is her delight they say

I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan

There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man

She’s Hard-Hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah, GA

They got a gal there

A pretty gal there

Who’s colder than an arctic storm

Got a heart just like a stone

Even icemen leave her alone

They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah

The meanest gal in town

Talk about you cold, refrigerated mamas

Brother, she’s a polar bear’s pajamas

To tease ‘em and thrill ‘em

To torture and kill ‘em

Is her delight they say

An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees

Is like traveling through Alaska in you BVD’s

She’s Hard-Hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah, GA

They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah
