lirik lagu joe sims and clarence williams - what do you know about that

[intro]
‘scuse me a minute, fellows
i think i see a friend of mine ‘cross the street
look like clarence williams
clarence? clarence, is that you?
yes, that’s me! is that you, joe?
i didn’t recognize you, boy, you’re so fat and greasy i didn’t recognize you
that’s funny you don’t know me now
you used to know me down home
i knows you ‘fore you got so prosperous
‘fore you had your hair straightened, and it turned red and everything
yes, it might have turned red, and it might be straightened, but it’ll never turn nappy no more
[laughing]
[verse 1]
when have you heard from the folks that’s way down home
i’d like to know how they’re gettin’ along
man, i got a letter from home just yesterday
things have changed since you’ve been away
remember the [?] you and your dad used to ride?
[oh boy?] that fool laid down and died
how ’bout the church that used to sit on the hill?
that ain’t nothin’ but a whiskey still

[chorus 1]
whatcha know about that?
i’m certain it’s the truth
whatcha know about that?
my letter is the proof
is is true ’bout cross~eyed nelle?
yes, she went and married old [?] bill
whatcha know about that?
[ah/how/now?] it certainly is a shame
whatcha know about that?
how things have changed
this moonshine liquor’s gwine drive you blind
real good booze is hard to find
i don’t believe you ’cause i drink all kind
now what do you know about that? i say
what do you know about that?
[interlude]
now you actin’ like you from the land of red beans and rice
yes boy, you bringin’ me back home now
said listen
ha?

[verse 2]
remember the gal i used to tease you ’bout?
i’m talkin’ ’bout the daughter of deacon green
boy, she wore a wig, and she had false t~~th
with the funniest lookin’ face that i ever did see
‘member the night you took her to the dance
and they brought you back home in a ambulance?
that’s the night old bill jones pulled that gun
and you were so scared you couldn’t run

[chorus 2]
whatcha know about that?
he tried to take your life
whatcha know about that?
he caught you dancin’ with his wife
[?] all night long, i had to lay in jail
[while?] you sent for me to go your bail
whatcha know about that?
i’d’ve got you out
whatcha know about that?
got you out without a doubt
say, while i was layin’ in the county jail
waitin’ for you to come and go my bail
next mornin’, the judge wouldn’t listen to my tale
now what do you know about that? i said
what do you know about that?
