Sorry for the delay of a few days since I promised to post these. I can but say that time flies whether you're having fun or not.
Anyway, these are the lyrics I sing when I play this song. I am pretty sure I picked them up from a Stefan Grossman record several years ago.
Some old woman in this old town
Keeps telling lies on me.
I wish to my soul that old woman would die,
Stop tellin' her lies on me.
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 great big world
Just got back today.
Work all week and give my money all to you
Honey, what more can I do?
Oh, babe, it ain't no lie...
