I'M GONNA TELL ON YOU
(George Fleming)
GEORGE FLEMING (FLEMING 501, 1959)

I went down to a honky tonk at Rainbow's End
Everybody down there seems to be your friend
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell on you!)

Now you think that you been a-playin' it cool
Let me tell you friend, she's nobody's fool
'Cause I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell on you!)

Well, I caught you slippin' in after dark
You're gettin' so mean, now the dog won't bark
Oh yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell on you!)
(Let's dig it now!)

Some of these days she's gonna catch you
Pettin' them blondes and a-drinkin' that booze
I think I better tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell on you!)

Now, every time you get in a jam
You start lookin' for good hearted Sam
Oh yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell)
Yes, I'm a-gonna tell (yes, I'm gonna tell on you!)
