You Can't Stop a Tattler

    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 women 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 oughta quit tattlin'
    I'll tell you for the reason why
    They don't always know what they're talking about
    And maybe can a-lie

    Oh, there's lots of good women now wanted to marry
    And they wants to live well at home
    But they 'fraid they will get a hold of a rowdy man
    That won't let other women alone

    Well, there's lots of good men now wanted to marry
    And they wants to live well at home
    But he's 'fraid of a-turning his back to any other man there
    As in, "Darlin', is he gone?"

    Whenever you find a man 
    That loves every woman he sees
    There's always some kind of woman
    A- puttin' him up a tree

    Oh, that kind of a man he ain't got
    As much sense as a mule
    You know every woman don't love you
    They just a-playin' you for a fool

    Well, if you marry the wrong kind of a woman
    And get where you can't agree
    You just as well to get your hat
    And let that woman be

    Oh, men oughta make good husbands
    And quit tryin' to live a fast life
    Goin' about dressin' up other women
    And won't put clothes on his own wife

    When people--man or either woman--
    Won't tend their conference in church
    It's just as well to turn them out
    For their religion don't 'mount to much

    Whenever you get after them about coming to church
    They already wants to live wrong
    Then they will begin telling you
    That we can serve our God at home
