You Ain't Talkin' To Me

                                  I went up to a lady's house

To bum a bite to eat

She fed me on some pork and beans

And pie, I called it sweet

She says, "Now, Bill

I sure did feed you good

Will you walk out in my backyard

And chop a stick of wood?"



    You ain't talkin' to me,

    No you ain't a-talkin' to me

    I may be crazy and all like that

    But I got good sense, you see

    You ain't talkin' to me

    No you ain't a-talkin' to me

    You fed me good but I can't cut wood

    And you ain't a-talkin' to me



Now me and my wife has ups and downs

All throughout married life

Said to me one day, "Bill

Let's stop these scars and strife"

We went out upon the lake

One evening just about dusk

Said, "Now we'll drown ourselves

No one to grieve for us"



    You ain't a-talkin' to me

    No you ain't talkin' to me

    I may be crazy and all like that

    But I got good sense, you see

    You ain't a-talkin' to me

    No you ain't a-talkin' to me

    When the lake goes dry it's time to die

    And you ain't talkin' to me
