Speak No Evil

We all live in a small town

In a tumbled down shed

Mamma she was a good good woman

She worked so hard

Worked her fingers to the bone

As the kids grew on our own

She said

You can see it

And you hear it

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Pappa he was a good good man

And he worked so hard

He said

You can see it

And you'll feel it

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What he said

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What he said

You will have your time

Baby don't speak no evil

So they put us through school

And kept us clothed and fed

We went swimming in Summer

Rememberin' what Mamma said

And we moved into town

Saw the people kissin around

And she said

You will see it

And you'll hear it

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What she said

What she said

And you'll hear it

Baby don't tell no secrets

Baby old enough to be your own man

Nobody can love you like a family can

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What she said

What she said

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What she said

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

Baby don't speak no evil

What she said
