Evenin', Caroline
Same to you
How you doin'? How you been?
Sure is warmish for November
Getting dark early, huh?
That bus better not be late
Miz Griffin been letting me off early these days
On account of night school
She like having a maid goin' to college
Make her feel sorta fancy
Ah - I say, it's warmish for November
Listen to them frogs
Expectin' the moon
I don't hardly ever take the bus now
I got a boyfriend
He gots a car
We never get to talk no more
Knees hurt, wore out
Same as yesterday
Same tomorrow
Too tired to talk
Well, how Noah doin'?
Ain't my job to mind that boy
You wanna know how Noah do? Ask him yourself!
Caroline, why you huff at me?
You never used to be that way
All a sudden, so unfriendly
I ain't never done no harm to you!
I don't like the way you do
You change
Gal your age, wearing bobby socks and saddle shoes
Actin' like - I don't know what all
Everyone down to the college
Everyone wear these shoes
And I don't see that you got culture
You the one that changed
You changed!
Plaid skirt, flipped hair
You's no kid and runs with mens!
Never mind drinkin', too, and smokin' cigarettes
And I don't know what all
Uh-uh! You's gettin' pinched and prunin' like them ladies at your church
Think they come at God's suggestion
Judgin' this one, judgin' that one
Boy, you got yourself divorced
Boy, told you I's goin' to night school
For all that you wasn't hateful
Now you gone all grim and gospel
Sorry you is sick and shame
Sorry you drinkin' misery tea
Sorry your life ain't what it should be
Don't see why you think it's proper to take it out on me
Seein' as how you ain't never seen the inside of a church
I don't think you got perspective on what the gospel is
Dotty Moffet
High and mighty
Goin' to college every night
Leastest thing that they could teach you
Is not to talk on what you's wholly, completely, abysmally ignorant of
Where's the moon?
Should be here
Them frogs askin' after it
Gibbous moon tonight
And it be warmish for November
Gibbous moon tonight (moon change)
You heard on the TV yesterday? (I ain't got a TV)
That old copper statue
By the courthouse downtown
Honorin' the brave Confederate soldier
The South defender
The Civil War
Ain't there no mo'
It ain't there no mo' (Now what you talkin' about?)
Last evenin'
Somebody heist the hateful thing
Unscrewed it
Carried it away (Now, who'd want to do a thing like that?)
No witness, don't got (It just mean trouble)
Don't got no one's name (It mean that trouble on the way)
Don't know, don't know who to blame (Don't want to hear that)
Standin' there one hundred year
Now that statue, he just disappear
Things change everywhere, even here
Yeah. You want a smoke, Miz Piety and Rectitude?
