Washboard Hank - "That'll Learn Ya', Dern Ya'"


Once you called me darlin and told me that you loved me
Said I was the only one for you
Then you taught me every lesson bought how to keep em guessin
Now look who's cryin those lonesome blues

Well that'l learn ya dern ya, dern ya that'll learn ya,
Not to break a true and trusting heart
Well that'l learn ya dern ya, dern ya that'll learn ya
That'll teach you not to be so smart.

Well, you were just a smarty, never missed a party,
Always running round and never home.
While you were celebratin, I was left a waitin
Waitin all those nights so all alone

Well that'l learn ya dern ya, dern ya that'll learn ya,
Not to break a true and trusting heart
Well that'l learn ya dern ya, dern ya that'll learn ya
That'll teach you not to be so smart.

Your cheatin and yer lyin cause heartache and cryin,
I cried for you until my poor eyes burned
I listened to your screachin, your howlin and yer preachin
And life was misery until I learned.
