Verse:

In old Savannah, I said Savannah, The weather there is nice and warm;

The climate's of the 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 icemen leave her alone,

 

Chorus:

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 'em and thrill 'em, To torture and kill 'em, Is her delight, they say,

I saw her at the sea shore with a great big pan; There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man,

She's Hard Hearted Hannah, The Vamp of Savannah G. A.
