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

　　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,

　　Each day a little diff'rent.

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

　　Don't touch me, Jake,

　　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;

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' don't make any mistake about one thing,

　　When I married yer I loved yer.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Why, your voice 'ud make

学习啦在线学习网 　　Me go hot and cold all over,

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

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.

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

　　An' then I took her death real hard,

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

　　I ain't blamin' yer exactly.

学习啦在线学习网 　　But that's how 'twas.

　　Do lay quiet,

　　I know I'm slow, but it's harder to say 'n I thought.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

　　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

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

学习啦在线学习网 　　Jest to feel its arms around me,

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Yes, I know you're wide awake now,

　　But now ain't then,

　　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

　　'Cause Elmer was comin' to see t' th' telephone.

　　An' you never see why I was so set on goin' with yer,

　　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',

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

　　'Twas a lovely mornin'.

　　The apple-trees was jest elegant

　　With their blossoms all flared out,

　　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,

　　An' I heard the Ford chuggin' for most a mile,

　　The air was so still.

　　Then Elmer come.

学习啦在线学习网 　　It's no use your frettin', Jake,

　　I'll tell you all about it.

学习啦在线学习网 　　I know what I'm doin',

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

　　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,

　　You know.

　　He got all he wanted,

　　An' I give it to him,

学习啦在线学习网 　　An' what's more, I'm glad!

学习啦在线学习网 　　I ain't dead, anyway,

　　An' somebody thinks I'm somethin'.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Keep away, Jake,

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　What you want the light fer?

学习啦在线学习网 　　I don't look no diff'rent.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Ain't the moon bright enough

　　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;

学习啦在线学习网 　　It ain't decent.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Oh, my God! It ain't decent any more either way!
