Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie 1

Elisabeth Cotten


12 Jan 1990
TOAD'S PLACE VOL. 1 (T-288)

Toad's Place rehearsals, New Haven CT - 12 Jan 1990  

One old woman, Lord, in this town,
Keeps a-telling her lies on me. 
Wish to my soul that old woman would die
Keep a-telling lies on me. 

Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Know this life I'm living is very high. 

Been all around this whole round world, 
Lord, I just got back today. 
Work all the week, hon', and I give it all to you, 
Honey baby, what more can I do? 

Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Oh babe it ain't no lie, 
Know this life I'm living is very high.
