Don't Start Me Talkin'

(sonny boy williamson)

I'm going down the road, stop at fannie mae's
Gonna tell fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say

Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go

Jack gave his wife two dollars, go down town, get smartened
Gets out on the street, old george stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie

Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
'cos somebody's got to go, oh

She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked(? ) his horn, she began to stop
Said: "take me baby, around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop where I can get my hair smart"

Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
