Elizabeth Cotten
Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie (Live at the Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, September 30, 1980)
[Verse 1]
Been all around this whole round world
And I just got back today
I work all week, honey, I give it all to you
Honey baby, what more can I do?

[Chorus]
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
Oh babe, it ain’t no lie
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
You know this life I'm living is mighty high

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
One old woman, Lord, in this town
Keep a-telling her lies on me
Wish to my soul that old woman would die
Keep a-telling her lies on me

[Chorus]
Oh babe, it ain’t no lie
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
You know this life I'm living is very high
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Been all around this whole round world
And I just got back today
Work all week, honey, and I give it all to you
Honey baby, what more can I do?

[Chorus]
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
Oh babe, it ain't no lie
You know this life I'm living is very high
