Lyrics copied from http://www.blueside.de/txt/g2btexte.txt and corrected a bit based on sound samples:

DON'T LIE, BUDDY
As sung by Josh White accompanied by Leadbelly

Mammy Logan, she had a daughter,
And she run a cook shop down in Flor'da.
How I know? God knows I been there,
And I bought four pork chops for a quarter.

CHORUS: I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't, buddy, don't, don't lie.
I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't lie, buddy, don't lie.
I don't, buddy, don't, don't lie.

Jack the rabbit he had a bad habit.
He cut down my corn and cabbage.
I went down to the low grounds
And I broke that fool of his bad habit. CHORUS

I got a quarter, buddy. I got a half.
I got a pretty girl at last.
She brings me coffee. She brings me tea.
She don't love nobody but me. CHORUS
