学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

　　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,

　　Don't you dars't to touch me,

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

　　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,

　　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'.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Lord! I was a silly fool.

　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

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,

　　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

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

　　An' you was all took up with the farm.

　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

　　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,

　　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.

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',

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

　　'Twas a lovely mornin'.

　　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.

　　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.

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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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.

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

　　He stayed to dinner,

　　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.

学习啦在线学习网 　　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,

　　You know.

　　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,

　　An' somebody thinks I'm somethin'.

　　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.

　　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;

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!
