Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)

Marion Harris

1924

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hard hearted Hannah,

The vamp of Savannah,

The meanest gal in town.

Leather is tough,

But Hannah's heart is rough,

And the men all fall down.

[Verse 2]

She’s a devil,

With a smile,

And a heart that’s cold as ice.

When she walks by,

All the men sigh,

But they pay the price.

[Chorus]

Oh, Hannah,

You’re a heartbreaker,

You’re the one they all adore.

But when they find,

You’re the cruelest kind,

They’ll be back for more.

[Verse 3]

She’s got a way,

Of making you stay,

Even when you know it’s wrong.

With a wink and a smile,

She’ll keep you for a while,

Then she’ll sing her song.

[Bridge]

Oh, hard hearted Hannah,

You’re a mystery,

With a charm that’s hard to resist.

But when you’re through,

You’ll leave them blue,

And they’ll know they’ve been kissed.

[Outro]

Hard hearted Hannah,

The vamp of Savannah,

You’ll break their hearts,

And tear them apart.

Oh, Hannah,

You’re a work of art.
