Speak now, woman Or forever hold your peace Speak now, woman But for you ever hold your peace An' if I don't stop you now More trouble will increase
You've cut off your nose Just to spite your face You cut off your nose Just to spite your face You do ev'rything against me You tryin' to bring me down in disgrace
(Harmonica & instrumental)
I don't believe Me an' you gon' make the grade I don't believe Me an' you will make the grade 'Cause you got another man Then you wanna use me for your slave
Speak now, woman Or forever hold your peace Oh speak now, woman Or woman forever hold your peace An' if I don't stop you now, woman More troubles will increase.
