Seen you down at chu'ch las' night,

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

What I mean? oh, dat 's all right,

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

You was sma't ez sma't could be,

But you could n't hide f'om me.

Ain't I got two eyes to see!

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

Guess you thought you's awful keen;

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

Evahthing you done, I seen;

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

Seen him tek yo' ahm jes' so,

When he got outside de do'--

Oh, I know dat man 's yo' beau!

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

Say now, honey, wha 'd he say?--

Nevah min', Miss Lucy!

Keep yo' secrets--dat's yo' way--

Nevah min', Miss Lucy.

Won't tell me an' I'm yo' pal--

I'm gwine tell his othah gal,--

Know huh, too, huh name is Sal;

Nevah min', Miss Lucy!
