Ain't Been Down To The Market Today


Darlin' have you been down to the market today
Now what can you say
Can you tell me what you saw
Now what do you say
Was it apples, plums, and pears
In the market today
Myself I had to go out
Go out and ramble round
Ain't been down to the market today
Didn't make it to the butchers
To see the fresh meat layin' on that slab
Myself I had to go out
Go out and ramble round
Find myself some new ground
Big ole sun in the sky
Seemed so cold, like midwinter in July
While I was a walkin'round
While I was a ramblin' round
Lookin' for that new ground
'Neath that big ole sun in the sky
So darlin don't you see
Had no time for the market today
So won't you please tell me
Was it apples, plums, and pears
In the market today
Was there fresh meat in the butchers tray
What can you tell me, what can you say
I couldn't make it to the market today
Look at that big ole sun in the sky
Ain't no midwinter in July
Couldn't make it to the market today
The butchers bill I had to pay
