You want to know what's the matter with me, doyer?
学习啦在线学习网 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
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.
学习啦在线学习网 Don't touch me, Jake,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
An' thought Heav'n was comin'
To set on the door-step.
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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,
学习啦在线学习网 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,
Jest to feel its arms around me,
学习啦在线学习网 So long's I didn't have yours.
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,
学习啦在线学习网 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.
学习啦在线学习网 Do you mind the day you went to Hadrock?
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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'.
学习啦在线学习网 But, Lord, you didn't notice nothin',
An' Elmer hangin' around all Winter!
学习啦在线学习网 '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,
An' there warn't a cloud in the sky.
You went, you wouldn't pay no 'tention to what I said,
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.
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.
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'
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,
学习啦在线学习网 An' he said a home was a fine thing,
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,
学习啦在线学习网 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',
学习啦在线学习网 What's the use o' me goin' on, Jake,
You know.
学习啦在线学习网 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!
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,
学习啦在线学习网 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.
学习啦在线学习网 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.
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.
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!
学习啦在线学习网 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!
