You want to know what's the matter with me, do yer?
学习啦在线学习网 My! ain't men blinder'n moles?
It ain't nothin' new, be sure o' that.
学习啦在线学习网 Why, ef you'd had eyes you'd ha' seed
学习啦在线学习网 Me changin' under your very nose,
学习啦在线学习网 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,
学习啦在线学习网 I ain't in no humour.
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.
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.
Why, your voice 'ud make
Me go hot and cold all over,
An' your kisses most stopped my heart from beatin'.
学习啦在线学习网 Lord! I was a silly fool.
学习啦在线学习网 But that's the way 'twas.
学习啦在线学习网 Well, I married yer
学习啦在线学习网 An' thought Heav'n was comin'
学习啦在线学习网 To set on the door-step.
Heav'n didn't do no settin',
Though the first year warn't so bad.
学习啦在线学习网 The baby's fever threw you off some, I guess,
An' then I took her death real hard,
学习啦在线学习网 An' a mopey wife kind o' disgusts a man.
学习啦在线学习网 I ain't blamin' yer exactly.
But that's how 'twas.
Do lay quiet,
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.
The mother part was sort of a waste
When we didn't have no other child.
But you'd got used ter lots o' things,
An' you was all took up with the farm.
Many's the time I've laid awake
Watchin' the moon go clear through the elm-tree,
Out o' sight.
学习啦在线学习网 I'd foller yer around like a dog,
An' set in the chair you'd be'n settin' in,
学习啦在线学习网 Jest to feel its arms around me,
So long's I didn't have yours.
It preyed on me, I guess,
学习啦在线学习网 Longin' and longin'
While you was busy all day, and snorin' all night.
学习啦在线学习网 Yes, I know you're wide awake now,
学习啦在线学习网 But now ain't then,
An' I guess you'll think diff'rent
When I'm done.
Do you mind the day you went to Hadrock?
I didn't want to stay home for reasons,
学习啦在线学习网 But you said someone 'd have to be here
'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,
学习啦在线学习网 Still marriage is marriage, an' I was raised God-fearin'.
学习啦在线学习网 But, Lord, you didn't notice nothin',
An' Elmer hangin' around all Winter!
'Twas a lovely mornin'.
学习啦在线学习网 The apple-trees was jest elegant
With their blossoms all flared out,
学习啦在线学习网 An' there warn't a cloud in the sky.
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,
学习啦在线学习网 The air was so still.
学习啦在线学习网 Then Elmer come.
It's no use your frettin', Jake,
学习啦在线学习网 I'll tell you all about it.
I know what I'm doin',
An' what's worse, I know what I done.
Elmer fixed th' telephone in about two minits,
An' he didn't seem in no hurry to go,
An' I don't know as I wanted him to go either,
学习啦在线学习网 I was awful mad at your not takin' me with yer,
An' I was tired o' wishin' and wishin'
An' gittin' no comfort.
学习啦在线学习网 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,
学习啦在线学习网 An' he said a home was a fine thing,
学习啦在线学习网 An' I said dishes warn't a home
学习啦在线学习网 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,
学习啦在线学习网 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,
An' I give it to him,
An' what's more, I'm glad!
学习啦在线学习网 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,
学习啦在线学习网 But I'm goin' to have my say.
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
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?
I don't look no diff'rent.
Ain't the moon bright enough
To look at a woman that's deceived yer by?
学习啦在线学习网 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.
学习啦在线学习网 Oh, my God! It ain't decent any more either way!
