Ray Charles - Hard Hearted Hannah lyrics

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 ice men 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 loves to see men suffer

To tease them and thrill them

To torture and kill them

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 call her hard-hearted Hannah,

The Vamp of Savannah

The meanest gal in town

Talk of your cold, refrigerating mamas;

Brother, she's the polar bear's pajamas

To tease them and thrill them

To torture and kill them

Is her delight, they say

An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees

Is like traveling through Alaska in your BVD's

She's hard-hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah, GA

Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah?

She's got the right name, the Vamp of Savannah

Anytime a woman can take a great big pan

Start pouring water on a drowning man

She's hard-hearted Hannah

The Vamp of Savannah, GA

Ooh, she's sweet as sour milk!
