Lottie Kimbrough - Don't Speak to Me lyrics

Holmes: Hello there, Jerry! Drop them dice, boy, and let me have that bottle of liquor Jerry: Oh, looky-here. Here comes Lottie Beamon Holmes: Hello, Kimbrough Lottie Beamon: Don't speak to me, don't speak to me If you're a friend to Jerry Lee For he's a hustler, gambler too He belongs to that gamblin' crew Oh, boys and girls, take my advice Quit playing cards and shooting dice For in bad company, you must shun From the policeman, you must run Don't drink no booze, for it ain't no use To end up in the calaboose For you can shun the doctor's bill By keeping away from the liquor still Be careful where you always go Don't be no thief, don't be no rogue Go to church and Sunday school Don't let nobody make you no fool I'm going to leave and let you be Take my advice and sympathy For if you're wild, as wild can be Just keep right on and don't speak to me
