Текст песни If It Ain't Me Babe - S.G. Goodman

Saw the figure it looked like me
When we were down in the cypress knees
My crooked face with the water low
And I disappeared when the water rose
Cotton blooms left at your house
Bit me like a cottonmouth
The poison ran right through my veins
And I can't breathe when I hear your name

If it ain't me, babe, it ain't me
Right there by your side, like I used to be
If it ain't me, babe, it ain't me
I waste all my time hoping it could be

Sitting high on a river wall
Calling back to a killdeer call
Getting high on a river wall
Calling back to a killdeer call

If it ain't me, babe, it ain't me
Right there by your side, like I used to be
If it ain't me, babe, it ain't me
I waste all my time hoping it could be

Take time in yellowwood
Call your mom like you know you should
Dance across the kitchen floor
Don't close that cabinet door
Sing Neil 'til the song gets old
Secret Lake is yours, you know?

I'll see you in a harvest moon
Think of you, singing harvest moon
If these words don't mean a thing
Amber stone on a golden ring
I'll see you in a harvest moon
I'll think of you singing harvest moon, oh
These words don't mean a thing
Amber stone on a golden ring
I'll see you in a harvest moon
I'll think of you singing harvest moon

If it ain't me, don't waste all your time
Hoping it could be
