From the recording The Brew House Collection
This song came to me after listening to a story about a soldier, who upon returning home from the American Civil War finds his house burnt down and his wife eloped.
Lyrics
Ain't No News
I had to ring to say,
that your baby left last night
Apart from that there ain’t no news
She took all your money,
said that she’d earned that right
Apart from that there really ain’t no news
She said that you’re no damn good,
now that she’s gonna set you free
Apart from that there ain’t no news
She’s now met a man who'll give her, tender loving care
Apart from that there really ain’t no news
Chorus:
The cards are stacked up,
I’m afraid you're gonna lose
It's enough to give a heart attack, to any man in his right mind would bruise
Apart from that,
a fact's a fact,
Apart from that...
There really ain’t no new, no new, no new, no new, no news
There really ain't no news
Instr:
With all the bad news up front,
how could things get any worse
How could such sweet blessings,
turn into such a dreadful curse
If you had stayed around,
you would’ve seen what hit the floor
She's only gone off with the
kindly man next door
The kindly man next door
