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,

She's got a heart just like a stone,

Even the ice men leave her alone!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,

The meanest gal in town;

A7 Emi7 A7 A7/5+ Gdimi
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher,

D Gdimi Emi7 A7/5+
She's a gal who loves 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 can,

There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man!


They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,

The meanest gal in town;

A7 Emi7 A7 A7/5+ Gdimi
Talk about your cold, refrigeratin' mama,

D Gdimi Emi7 A7/5+
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajama!

To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,

Is her delight, they say,

An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees,

Is like drivin' through Alaska in your B - V - Ds.
