Don't Start Me Talkin'

Don't Start Me Talkin' - 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 mutton

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

To 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
