Eavesdropper's Blues (01-09-24) |
I heard the folks were talking here yesterday |
As I listened by the door |
Would eavesdrop 'cause they never hear no good, they say |
And I heard things that hurt me so |
They said I had a man I give my money to |
They said I had a man I give my money to |
And if I was broke he would turn my eyes all blue |
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye |
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye |
They said he was a sinner and was too mean to cry |
I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me |
I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me |
There’s goin' to be a funeral if they don’t let me be |
I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news |
I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news |
I hear things about me, give me those eavesdropper’s blues |
