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
What she said
