Thread Name: Lyr Add: Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie (Elizabeth Cotten
Subject: ADD: It ain't no lie^^
This is from a recording of Jerry Garcia's Acoustic Band.
He dedicates this song to the memory of Elizabeth Cotton.

One old woman in this town
keep a-tellin' lies on me
Wish to my soul that old woman would die
keep a-tellin' lies on me

Oh baby it ain't no lie
oh baby it ain't no lie
oh baby it ain't no lie
you know this life I live is mighty [(fine) I think]

Been all around this whole round world
Lord I just got back to day
work all the week, honey
and I give it all to you
Honey, please, what more can I do?

Oh....etc

Repeat first

Oh....etc


Hope this helps! I'd love to be able to play this as well as sing it - anyone know where I could find 5-string banjo tabs for this and similar stuff?
