Don't Start Me Talking Songtext

von Sonny Boy Williamson

Well, I'm goin' down to Rosie's
Stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I heard
Her boyfriend say

Don't start me to talkin'
I'll tell her everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody's got to go

Jack give his wife two dollars
Go downtown and get some margarine
Gets out on the streets
Ole George stopped her

He knocked her down
And blackened her eye
She gets back home
Tell her husband a lie

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

She borrowed some money
Go to the beauty shop
Jim honked his horn
She begin to stop

She said, "Take me, baby
Around the block"
I'm goin' to the beauty shop
Where I can get my hair aside"

Don't start me to talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
Well, to break up this signifyin'
Somebody's got to go
