Evening Caroline
Same to you
How you felling?
How you been?
Oof it warmish for November
Getting dark early, huh?
Bus better not be late
Mrs. Griffin lettin' me off early these days
On account of night school
She like having a maid goin' to college
Make her feel sort of fancy
He, he
I say it warmish for November
Listen to them frogs
Expecting 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
How Noah doing?
Ain't my job to mind that boy
I don't know how Noah do
Ask him yourself
Caroline, why you huff at me?
You never used to be that way
All of a sudden so unfriendly
I never did no harm to you
I don't like the way you do
You change
Gal your age wearing bobby socks
And saddle shoes
Acting like I don't know what all
Everyone down to the college
Everyone wear these shoes
And I don't see that you get call to-
You the one that change
You changed!
Plaid skirts, flip hair
You is no kid and runs with mens
Never mind
Drinking too and smoking cigarettes
And I don't know what all
Oh, you's getting pinched and prune-y
Like them ladies at your church
Think they come at God's suggestion
Judging this one
Judging that one
'Fore you got yourself divorced
'Fore I told you I's going to night school
'Fore all that you wasn't hateful
Now you got all grim and gospel
Sorry you is sick and shame
Sorry you drinking misery tea
Sorry your life ain't what it should be
Don't see why you think it 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 Moffett
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
Frogs is asking after it
Gibbous moon tonight
And it be warmish for November
Gibbous moon tonight
(Moon change)
Ooh, you see on the TV yesterday?
Ain't got a TV
That old copper statue
By the courthouse downtown
"Honoring the brave confederate soldier
The South's Defender"
The Civil War
Ain't there no more
It ain't there no more
Well, where is it?
Last evening
Somebody heist the hateful thing
Unscrewed it
Carried it away
Now who go and 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 wanna hear that)
Don't know who to blame
Standin' there one hundred year
Ha ha ha ha ha
Now that statue it just disappear
Things change everywhere
Even here
Want a smoke, Miss Piety and Rectitude?
