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.
学习啦在线学习网 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.
You lay still, an' I'll tell yer,
学习啦在线学习网 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,
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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.
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',
学习啦在线学习网 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.
学习啦在线学习网 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.
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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,
学习啦在线学习网 Out o' sight.
I'd foller yer around like a dog,
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.
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,
But now ain't then,
学习啦在线学习网 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,
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',
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,
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.
Then Elmer come.
学习啦在线学习网 It's no use your frettin', Jake,
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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,
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'
学习啦在线学习网 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,
An' he helped me do the dishes,
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
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,
Clost up to the things I'd be'n thinkin',
学习啦在线学习网 What's the use o' me goin' on, Jake,
You know.
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,
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.
学习啦在线学习网 Elmer ain't be'n here for mor'n two months.
I don't want to pretend nothin',
Mebbe if he'd be'n lately
I shouldn't have told yer.
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.
学习啦在线学习网 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!
