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.^^
