[DOTTY, spoken] Mornin', Caroline [CAROLINE, spoken] Mornin', Dot [DOTTY, spoken] What, how you doin', girl? You doin' alright? [CAROLINE, spoken] I'm goin' to church, I can't visit now, it's gettin' late [DOTTY, spoken] Oh, Miz Gellman call, looking for you You ought to call her, say you quit [CAROLINE, spoken] I ain't said I quit [DOTTY, spoken] You ain't been to work there five days, honey That sure sound like quit to me [CAROLINE, spoken] I'm goin' to church and I'm gon' pray Said and done some things this week I'm sad about And I need to pray [DOTTY] Oh, Caroline, Emmie is young, she don't know about you About what you'd do if you'd a mind to Change yourself, Caroline, learn something new Show her your fire, show her your grit Show her a new face [CAROLINE, spoken] And what? Then do what? [DOTTY] Call the Gellmans and quit [CAROLINE, spoken] And then my three childrens can beg for they feed Dot, I need— Dot, it too late [DOTTY] I never seen you so sad We known each other all thеse years Caroline, my hеart bleed for you But folk can't just surrender to their fears I know it hurt to change It actually hurts learnin' something new And when you full-grown, it's harder, that's true It feel like you got to break yourself apart It feel like you got to break your own heart But folk do it, they do Every day, all the time Alone, afraid Folk like you You got to let go of where you been You got to move on from this place you're in Don't drown in that basement, change or sink Let go, forget, move on This ain't time for prayin' You got to think [CAROLINE] I'm going to church now And I'm going to pray And from now on Only God hear what I have to say 'Cause only God can hear what my heart mean to state When I talk to people, all that comes out is hate 'Cause I hate That all I hate [CAROLINE, spoken] I know what I'm doin, Dot I don't need nothing from you Now I want you to go on outta my yard We through [DOTTY, spoken] I heard that Well, take care [DOTTY] I'll get out of your hair You go on and pray Tell God Dotty say hey Tell Him I'm doin' perfectly fine Sure is a pleasant mornin' Mornin', Caroline
