This is from Koand’s YouTube playlist of Influential Songs. I’m going through them to see what may be going on with this intriguing artist. He certainly seems angry at somebody. I think larger themes will offer us some clues. I’ve learned it just takes a little paying attention to figure out what’s really going on with him. He’s not as cryptic as he may seem at first.
Turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no moreAh, let 'em roll like a big wheel
In a Georgia cotton field
Honey, hush
Now baby, come in this house, stop all that yackety yack
I say come in this house baby, stop all that yackety yack
Come fix my supper, don't want no talkin' back
Well, you keep on jabberin', you talk about this and that
Well, you keep on jabberin', you talk about this and that
I got news for you baby, you ain't nothin' but an alley cat
Turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more
Turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more
When I leave this time, I ain't comin' back no more
Honey hush
I say come in this house, stop all that yackety yack
Come in here woman, stop all that yackety yack
Don't make me nervous, 'cause I'm holdin' a baseball bat
Singin' hi-yo, hi-yo silver
(Hi-yo, hi-yo silver)
Sing hi-yo, hi-yo silver
(Hi-yo, hi-yo silver)
Sing hi-yo, hi-yo silver
(Hi-yo, hi-yo silver)
Sing hi-yo, hi-yo silver
(Hi-yo, hi-yo silver)
Sing hi-yo, hi-yo silver
(Hi-yo, hi-yo silver)
Sing, hi-yo silver away
