It is a track on the famous Pine Breeze recordings of old time folk from Tennessee, first issued in 1975 and re-issued on a 2-cd set, "The Pine Breeze Recordings." Available from www.countysales.com It appears as the lyrics to "Take It Easy," Nat Terry, on Imperial 5150, a 10'' 78rpm. Jeff Todd Titon, "Thematic Pattern in Downhome Blues Lyrics," discusses this recording; Jour. American Folklore, vol. 90, no. 357, Jul-Sept 1977, pp. 316-330, giving partial lyrics. "Choosing to reform her," Terry sings Well you run all up and down the street, Running other women's men, You better take it easy, baby, Take it easy while you can cause your time, Baby you know your time ain't long. I hope someone at Mudcat can supply the complete lyrics. |

You better quit your rowdy ways You better quit your rowdy ways They'll get you awfully fast (?) (this is not quite decipherable) If they don't, you'll wish they had, You better quit your rowdy ways Chorus: Baby your time ain't long Baby your time ain't long Your time ain't long, because you've done me wrong, Baby your time ain't long 2. I wish I was a lizard in the spring (x2) If I was a lizard in the spring, I'd hear my baby sing Wish I was a lizard in the spring Chorus 3. Never liked no railroad boss (x2) Railroad boss went and hid behind my hoss Never liked no railroad boss Chorus 4. I got a good woman just the same (x2) Woman just the same and Liza is her name Got a good woman just the same Chorus This is the best I could transcribe my recording of the Dust Busters singing this. If anyone has another recording or has input that might clear up the lines that I had trouble deciphering (the lines with (?) at the end), you are welcome to contribute. |
