Charlie Poole & The North Carolina Ramblers - You Ain't Talkin' to Me lyrics

I went up to a lady's house To bum a bite to eat She fed me on some pork and beans And pie, I called it sweet She says, "Now, Bill I sure did feed you good Will you walk out in my backyard And chop a stick of wood?" You ain't talkin' to me, No you ain't a-talkin' to me I may be crazy and all like that But I got good sense, you see You ain't talkin' to me No you ain't a-talkin' to me You fed me good but I can't cut wood And you ain't a-talkin' to me Now me and my wife has ups and downs All throughout married life Said to me one day, "Bill Let's stop these scars and strife" We went out upon the lake One evening just about dusk Said, "Now we'll drown ourselves No one to grieve for us" You ain't a-talkin' to me No you ain't talkin' to me I may be crazy and all like that But I got good sense, you see You ain't a-talkin' to me No you ain't a-talkin' to me When the lake goes dry it's time to die And you ain't talkin' to me
