'Tain't So, Honey, 'Tain't So - Bix Beiderbecke

Hey, people, you should come to Arkansas

Meet a friend of mine, old Aunt Phoebe Law

She’s known to everyone for miles around

She will help you when friends forsake you and troubles bear you down!

For those who come her way

Are blessed when they hear her say:

'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so

Spoke to the Lord and the Lord said no

'Tain't so

Honey, 'tain't so

'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so

Tomorrow will bring something good, I know

'Tain't so

I mean, it just ain’t so

Makes no difference what your problem may be

Just look up, brother, and I’m sure you’ll agree

'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so

The Devil said yes, but the Lord said no

'Tain't so

Honey, 'tain't so
