An’ Joe is runnin’ crazy wild an’ don’ say nothing w’en I’m askin’ him, “Joe, w’ere you goin’ like dat?”

Joe’s going away.

He’s no’ goin’ without sayin’ goo’-by?

I dunno. Maybe he is.

That boy mak’ me verra unhappy. I been lovin’ Joe like he was my own son an’ he’s goin’ away like dat. He’s no good.

People who ain’t no good ain’t worth worrying about. The thing to do is let ’em go and forget ’em.

Da’s no’ so easy like you think, Amy. I been lovin’ Joe like my own son.

Joe ain’t no worse than other people I could mention.
