Don't Speak To Me

Hello there Jerry

Drop them dice boy and let me have that bottle of liquor

Oh look here, here comes Lucky Lee

Hello Jim Croce

Don't speak to me, don't speak to me

If you are friends to Jerry Lee

For he's a hustler, gambler too

He belongs to the gambling crew

Oh boys and girls, take my advice

Quit playing cards and shooting dice

For in bad company you must shun

From the policeman you must run

Don't drink no booze for it ain't no use

To end up in the calaboose

For you can shun the doctor's bill

By keeping away from the liquor still

Be careful where you always go

Don't be no thief, don't be no rogue

Go to church and Sunday school

Don't let nobody make you no fool

I'm going to leave and let you be

Take my advice and sympathy

For if you're wild as wild can be

Just keep right on and don't speak to me
