I heard the folks were talking here yesterday As I listened by the door Would eavesdrop 'cause they never hear no good, they say And I heard things that hurt me so They said I had a man I give my money to They said I had a man I give my money to And if I was broke he would turn my eyes all blue They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye They said he was a sinner and was too mean to cry I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me There's goin' to be a funeral if they don't let me be I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news I hear things about me, give me those eavesdropper's blues
