Singing

written by Lee Hazlewood  

 

Her eyes were once so full of dreams  

Her young heart filled with love and ...  

Now every second she must borrow  

They take her life tomorrow  

 

Is she guilty? She says no  

The girl on death row  

 

Now someone holds her trembling hand  

Another who don't understand  

Why can't they see in her face?  

Another should be in her place  

 

Is she guilty? She says no  

The girl on death row  

 

Her young dreams never will come true  

Her innocence they never knew  

Until they found the guilty one  

They're sorry now what they've done  

But it's way too late now  

For the girl on death row  

 

   

Mockin' Bird 

written by Tom Waits  

 

Mockin' bird, high in the tree 

Looks like you've got the best of me 

Mockin' bird, singing a song 

Well, mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone  

 

Mockin' bird, on top of my roof 

Blowin' notes on top of my roof 

Mockin' bird singing a song 

Well, mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone  

 

Mockin' bird, high in the tree 

I'm looking up at you, you're looking down at me 

Mockin' bird, singing a song 

Well, the mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone  

 

Throw up some papers, try to scare him away 

Look down at me, this what he says. . . 

Mockin' bird, high in the tree 

Looks like you've got the best of me 

Mockin' bird, singing a song 

Well, the mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone
