　　You want to know what's the matter with me, do yer?

　　My! ain't men blinder'n moles?

　　It ain't nothin' new, be sure o' that.

　　Why, ef you'd had eyes you'd ha' seed

　　Me changin' under your very nose,

　　Each day a little diff'rent.

　　But you never see nothin', you don't.

　　Don't touch me, Jake,

学习啦在线学习网 　　Don't you dars't to touch me,

　　I ain't in no humour.

学习啦在线学习网 　　That's what's come over me;

　　Jest a change clear through.

学习啦在线学习网 　　You lay still, an' I'll tell yer,

　　I've had it on my mind to tell yer

　　Fer some time.

学习啦在线学习网 　　It's a strain livin' a lie from mornin' till night,

　　An' I'm goin' to put an end to it right now.

　　An' don't make any mistake about one thing,

学习啦在线学习网 　　When I married yer I loved yer.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Why, your voice 'ud make

　　Me go hot and cold all over,

　　An' your kisses most stopped my heart from beatin'.

　　Lord! I was a silly fool.

学习啦在线学习网 　　But that's the way 'twas.

　　Well, I married yer

　　An' thought Heav'n was comin'

　　To set on the door-step.

　　Heav'n didn't do no settin',

　　Though the first year warn't so bad.

　　The baby's fever threw you off some, I guess,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' then I took her death real hard,

　　An' a mopey wife kind o' disgusts a man.

　　I ain't blamin' yer exactly.

　　But that's how 'twas.

　　Do lay quiet,

学习啦在线学习网 　　I know I'm slow, but it's harder to say 'n I thought.

　　There come a time when I got to be

　　More wife agin than mother.

学习啦在线学习网 　　The mother part was sort of a waste

　　When we didn't have no other child.

学习啦在线学习网 　　But you'd got used ter lots o' things,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' you was all took up with the farm.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Many's the time I've laid awake

　　Watchin' the moon go clear through the elm-tree,

　　Out o' sight.

　　I'd foller yer around like a dog,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' set in the chair you'd be'n settin' in,

　　Jest to feel its arms around me,

　　So long's I didn't have yours.

学习啦在线学习网 　　It preyed on me, I guess,

　　Longin' and longin'

　　While you was busy all day, and snorin' all night.

　　Yes, I know you're wide awake now,

　　But now ain't then,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' I guess you'll think diff'rent

学习啦在线学习网 　　When I'm done.

　　Do you mind the day you went to Hadrock?

　　I didn't want to stay home for reasons,

　　But you said someone 'd have to be here

学习啦在线学习网 　　'Cause Elmer was comin' to see t' th' telephone.

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' you never see why I was so set on goin' with yer,

学习啦在线学习网 　　Our married life hadn't be'n any great shakes,

　　Still marriage is marriage, an' I was raised God-fearin'.

　　But, Lord, you didn't notice nothin',

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' Elmer hangin' around all Winter!

　　'Twas a lovely mornin'.

学习啦在线学习网 　　The apple-trees was jest elegant

学习啦在线学习网 　　With their blossoms all flared out,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' there warn't a cloud in the sky.

学习啦在线学习网 　　You went, you wouldn't pay no 'tention to what I said,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' I heard the Ford chuggin' for most a mile,

　　The air was so still.

　　Then Elmer come.

　　It's no use your frettin', Jake,

　　I'll tell you all about it.

　　I know what I'm doin',

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' what's worse, I know what I done.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Elmer fixed th' telephone in about two minits,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' he didn't seem in no hurry to go,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' I don't know as I wanted him to go either,

　　I was awful mad at your not takin' me with yer,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' I was tired o' wishin' and wishin'

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' gittin' no comfort.

　　I guess it ain't necessary to tell yer all the things.

　　He stayed to dinner,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' he helped me do the dishes,

　　An' he said a home was a fine thing,

　　An' I said dishes warn't a home

　　Nor yet the room they're in.

　　He said a lot o' things,

　　An' I fended him off at first,

学习啦在线学习网 　　But he got talkin' all around me,

　　Clost up to the things I'd be'n thinkin',

　　What's the use o' me goin' on, Jake,

学习啦在线学习网 　　You know.

学习啦在线学习网 　　He got all he wanted,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' I give it to him,

　　An' what's more, I'm glad!

　　I ain't dead, anyway,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' somebody thinks I'm somethin'.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Keep away, Jake,

　　You can kill me to-morrer if you want to,

　　But I'm goin' to have my say.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Funny thing! Guess I ain't made to hold a man.

　　Elmer ain't be'n here for mor'n two months.

学习啦在线学习网 　　I don't want to pretend nothin',

　　Mebbe if he'd be'n lately

学习啦在线学习网 　　I shouldn't have told yer.

学习啦在线学习网 　　I'll go away in the mornin', o' course.

　　What you want the light fer?

学习啦在线学习网 　　I don't look no diff'rent.

　　Ain't the moon bright enough

学习啦在线学习网 　　To look at a woman that's deceived yer by?

　　Don't, Jake, don't, you can't love me now!

　　It ain't a question of forgiveness.

　　Why! I'd be thinkin' o' Elmer ev'ry minute;

　　It ain't decent.

　　Oh, my God! It ain't decent any more either way!
