Lyrics Ain't It the Truth (From Cabin In the Sky) [1943] - Lena Horne
Life
is
short
brother,
Ain′t
it
the
truth?
And
there
is
no
other,
Ain't
it
the
truth?
If
you
don′t
love
livin'
you
is
slightly
uncouth,
Ain't
it
the
dignified
truth?
Said
that
gal
Du
Barry,
"Ain′t
it
the
truth?
Life
is
cash
and
carry,
Ain′t
it
the
truth?
You
got
to
shake
it
down
or
stir
up
with
vermouth,
Ain't
it
the
practical
truth?
Love
is
a
ripplin′
brook,
Man
is
a
fish
to
cook,
You
got
to
bait
your
hook;
Rise
and
shine,
Cast
your
line!
You
got
to
get
your
possum,
Ain't
it
the
truth?
While
you
still
in
blossom,
Ain′t
it
the
truth?
Cleopatra
and
Delilah
had
it
way
over
Ruth,
Mmm,
them
gels
did
mighty
swell,
They
sure
did
ring
that
bell!
Ain't
it
the
gospel
truth?
It′s
the
truth,
the
truth,
It's
the
solid
mellow
truth!
