The Courtyard Garden

Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles sang it -- "Hard Hearted Hannah the Vamp of Savannah." The lyrics go, "They call her Hardhearted 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, That's Hardhearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah G-A.

They call her Hardhearted Hannah, The vamp of Savannah, The meanest gal in town, Talk about your cold refrigerating mammas, Brother she's a polar bears 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 being in Alaska in your B.V.D.'s. That's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah G-A."
