In My Reply - Livingston Taylor[00:00:00]

Matthew was a country boy[00:00:05]

Until one day he found[00:00:09]

That cheatin'folks was easier[00:00:13]

Than plowin' his daddy's ground[00:00:18]

He left his farm in Ohio[00:00:22]

Bound for Chicago town[00:00:27]

He crossed Big Jim and turned his back[00:00:31]

A bullet laid him down[00:00:36]

And as he lay there dying[00:00:40]

He begged "Will I see my Ohio "[00:00:44]

In my reply I lied a bit[00:00:49]

And said I did not know[00:00:54]

Jim McCall was meek and small[00:01:01]

And to become a man[00:01:05]

He'd have to build himself up tall[00:01:09]

With fancy folks and land[00:01:14]

He threw some stones at honest friends[00:01:18]

And got himself these things[00:01:22]

His children left him and he sneered[00:01:27]

"That's what my kindness brings"[00:01:31]

And in the South End he got lost[00:01:36]

And asked me where to go[00:01:40]

In my reply I lied a bit[00:01:45]

And said I did not know[00:01:49]

And lazy Susan called me up[00:02:14]

She'd heard I stole the show[00:02:18]

In my reply I lied a bit[00:02:22]

And said I did not know[00:02:27]

In my reply I lied a bit[00:02:31]

And said I did not know[00:02:36]
