A contribution to DT from a fave of Max's (El Sorter Ascending, The Grand Mudcat Mufti, He-Who-Must-Be-Oyveyed, The 10,000 Digits of Dr. M) and mine:

OH, BABE IT AIN'T NO LIE

One old woman, Lord, in this town
Keeps a telling lies on me.
Wish to my soul that she would die, Lord,
She's telling lies on me.

Chorus:
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie,
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie,
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie,
This life I'm living is very hard.

Been all around this whole round world,
Lord, and I just got back today.
Work all the week, honey and I give it all to you,
Honey babe, what more can I do?

-- Elizabeth Cotton.^^
