In My Reply Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found 

That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground 

He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town 

He crossed Big Jim and turned his back 

A bullet cut him down 

And as he lay there dying 

He said "Will I see my Ohio?" 

In my reply I lied a bit 

And said I did not know

Now Jim McCall he was meek and small 

And to become a man 

He'd have to build himself up tall 

With fancy folks and land 

He threw some stones at honest friends 

And he got himself these things 

His children left him and he sneered 

"That's what my kindness brings" 

And on the south side he got lost 

He asked me where to go 

In my reply I lied a bit 

And said I did not know

Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up 

She heard I stole the show 

In my reply I lied a bit 

And said I did not know 

In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know
