88. I Do Know Gawd Don't Lie

Chorus-
I do know Gawd don't lie
I do know Gawd don't lie
I do know Gawd don't lie
De heben pass away.

1
Jis want tell what a liar will do
He always come wid somet'ing new
Steal yo' hawss wid false pretense
And claim dat he is yo' bosom fr'en'.
2
Ebery day when yo' look out
Yo' will see dat liar comin' to yo' house
Den dat liar will hab his way
And tek a seat and stay all day

Jis about time you goin' change yo' mine
Tell yo' a leetle truth and make it shine.

These last two lines ate sung to repetition of the 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th measures above.

3
Jis about time he get his business fix
He'll sweeten dat lie wid a leetle trick
If you aunt Julia don't tell aunt Jane
Do fo' Gawd's sake don't you call my name.
4
Jis about time for liar to leave
He'll cause yo' heart and mine to grieve
But he'll strictly tell you befo' he go
Ef he ax yo' do yo' tell him I tell yo' so.
