Verse 1:I went up to a lady's house
To bum a bite to eat
She fed me on some pork and beans
And pie, and coffee sweet
She says, "Now, Bill
I sure did feed you good
Will you walk out in my backyard
And chop a stack 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 chop wood
And you ain't a-talkin' to me
Instrumental
Verse 2:D
Now me and my wife has ups and downs
All throughout our married life
Said to me one day, "Bill
Let's stop these sorrow and strife"
We went out upon the lake
One evening just about dusk
Said, "We'll drown ourselves
No one will mourn 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
Instrumental
Verse 3:D
I'm hunting with my buddy Jake
On a bright and sunny day
I run into a big old bear
He would not go away
Jake says, "He's powerful big!
We'll need some help its clear
I'll go back anad get the boys
And you just keep it here."
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
You hold the gun, I'd rather run
And you ain't talkin' to me
Instrumental
