This song is about the sexual harassment I experienced as a child by a hired hand at our farm, and later as an adult in the music industry.
lyrics
Don’t Tell Anyone
Words and Music by Juliet Wright
Darlin’ let the lace
Slip off your shoulder just so
Your Mom will never know
Let y our fantasies flow
Cuz you’re old enough now
Don’t tell anyone
Darlin’ won’t you come over here
And sit on my lap
I need some cheering up
Let your skirt slip up
Your mamma will never know
Don’t tell anyone
Darlin’ won’t you come over here
And help me with this hay
Cuz I feel so sad
You make me feel okay
Your mama will never know
Don’t tell anyone
Because you see
I know your Daddy’s gone
Left you and mamma all alone
Maybe I could care for you
And your mamma too
If you’d do me this one favor
Darlin if you’ll love me
I’ll give you a job forever
Just touch me just like this
Then you’ll escape hungers kiss
My wife will never know
Don’t tell anyone
Darlin hear that whistle blow
Your life is in my hands
You could be on the street
If my kiss you can’t stand
Make me feel good
Don’t’ tell anyone
Because you have no talent
You have no looks and frankly I don’t’ need you
But if you give me what’s yours
I promise that’ I’ll save you
So Darlin' let the lace fall off your shoulder just so
I need to fee good
I just knew you would
Your mamma will never know
Don’t tell anyone
