I Heard 1932

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Dec 2002

You hear scandal ev'ry day,
you hear her say that she heard someone say
they were having fights,
but she don't know,
she only heard,
and that's the way that I got the word,
but I won't tell until I'm right.

I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' they didn't buzz to me,
still I heard,
Now she said that he said,
but he didn't say where she got it,
and they said that he said
that the law was goin' to stop it,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard.

I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' they didn't buzz to me,
still I heard,
Now she said that he said,
but he didn't say where she got it,
and they said that he said
that the law was goin' to stop it,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard.

There's a tale 'bout Mary Jane,
who went one day down a country lane,
but I don't think it's true,
Maybe it was not all her fault,
so take the tale with a grain of salt,
but on the quiet 'tween me and you.

I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' they didn't buzz to me,
still I heard,
Now she said that he said,
but he didn't say where she got it,
and they said that he said
that the law was goin' to stop it,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard.

I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' they didn't buzz to me,
still I heard,
Now she said that he said,
but he didn't say where she got it,
and they said that he said
that the law was goin' to stop it,
I heard, yes I heard,
tho' it wasn't told to me,
still I heard.
