Slim Dusty - I've Been Talking to Grannie lyrics
rate meI've been talkin' to grannie,
And what she says is true,
But if you don't tell on me dad
Then I won't tell on you.
No I won't tell on you.
The lipstick you are wearing,
I think I've seen before
If I remember rightly,
It's from your mother's drawer.
But if nobody tells her,
I guess that she won't know,
What makes you think that I won't tell?
Well something you don't know.
Cause Ive been talking to grannie,
And what she said is true,
But if you dont tell on me daddy,
I won't tell on you.
No I won't tell on you.
Well Ive been talkin to grannie
And shes been tellin on you,
Seems when you were young dad.,
You were a bit of a devil too.
Ho! now look who's talkin',
You're a chip off the old block too,
Well Ill make a bargain with you,
Just forget what gran told you.
Cause Ive been talkin to grannie,
And what she said is true,
That you don't tell on me dad,
Then I won't tell on you.
No I won't tell on you.
I've been talkin' to grannie,
And what she said is true,
But if you don't tell on me dad,
Then I won't tell on you.
No I won't tell on you;
No I won't tell on you;
No I won't tell on you;
No I won't tell on you;
No I won't tell on you.
