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
