Goin`down the rosies
Stop and fanny mays
Gonna tell fanny what I heard her boyfriend say
Don`t start me to talkin
I`ll tell everything I know
I`m gonna break up this signifyin`
Cause somebody got to go

Jack give his wife
Two dollars to go down town and get some market
Gets out on the streets
Ol` George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Shes get 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 signigyin`
somebodyà got to go

She borrowed some money
Go to the beauty shop
He honked his horn she begun to stop
Said, Take me baby around the block
I`m goin` to the beauty shop, where I can
Get my hair a chop
Don`t start me to talkin`
I`ll tell everything I know
Well, break up this signigyin`
oh, somebody`s got to go
