Lyrics
You can't stop a tattler
And there ain't no use in you tryin'
Just as long as this world lasted
They gonna find somebody lyin'
Oh, deliver me from a woman or either man
You know, now it's all "the go"
That will go about from house to house
And tell everything that they know
Oh, people ought to quit tattlin'
I'll tell you for the reason why
They don't always know what they're talkin' about
And may be carryin' a lie
Oh, there's lots of good women now, wantin' to marry
And they wants to live well at home
But they're afraid they will get a-hold of a rowdy man
That won't let other women alone
Well there's lots of good men now, wantin' to marry
And they wants to live well at home
But he's 'fraid every time his back turned, there's a man there
Asking, "Darling, is he gone?"
