Don’t Tell I, Tell ’Ee lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never been to school
I've never been to college
Sooner be dead than stuff me head
With a load of useless knowledge
I never couldn't see
No point in history
'Cause I weren't there
So I don't care
So don't tell I, tell 'ee

[Chorus 1]
Don't tell I, tell 'ee
That's my philosophy
When folks do cuss
And start a fuss
Don't tell I, tell 'ee

[Verse 2]
Young Sarah Jones one day
Got in the family way
Her father come with a girt big gun
Said, "Ee, you'll have to pay,"
He chased I up a tree
I hollered, "Leave I be
I happen to know 'twere old Fred Snow
So don't blame I, blame 'ee."
