Don't Start Me to Talkin'

Sonny Boy Williamson II

(Intro)

Well, I'm goin' down to Rose's,
stop at Fanny Mae's.

Gonna tell Fanny what I heard
her boyfriend said.

Don't start me to talkin',
I'll tell everything I know.

I'm gonna break up this signifying,
'cause somebody's got to go.

Jack gave his wife two dollars go down town
and get some market.

Gets out on the streets,
old 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 signifying,
somebody's got to go.

(Break)

She borrowed some money,
go to the beauty shop.

She honked his horn,
she began to stop.

Said, "Take me, baby,
around the block.

I'm goin' to the beauty shop,
where I can get my hair a set."

Don't start me to talkin',
I'll tell everything I know.

Well, to break up this signifyin',
woh, somebody's got to go.
