Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ain't No Flies on Auntie
Okay, Stewmac, I've now got the first verse down, I'm pretty sure:

You think you're gonna hear a song about the deep blue sea
But if that's running through your mind, mistaken you will be
Now, sailor songs are very nice, I'm sure you will agree
But this is no sailor song, and you will shortly see:

They ain't no flies.... etc.

Now, when it comes to the 3rd verse, I hear:

She don't condem the girls who pet, She's just the one that something yet

They ain't no flies.... etc.

The 4th verse, I hear:

She takes her liquor by the quart,
Liquor that she never bought.

They ain't no flies.... etc.

But since "she don't drink" that could very well be "licker" ;-)

Ummmm... So, anyway, Stewmac, what brought this song to mind?

*big grin 'n wink*
