About

Dotty Moffet, another maid, waits for the bus with Caroline. Caroline is cold towards her, and disagrees with Dotty’s lifestyle. Dotty talks about how the moon is late to rise, and informs Caroline that an unknown person has taken a local statue of a Confederate soldier. Caroline seems distressed at...

Dotty and Caroline Lyrics

[DOTTY]
Evening, Caroline

[CAROLINE]
Same to you

[DOTTY]
How you doing, how you been?
It's warmish for November
Gettin' dark early, huh?
That bus better not be late
Ms. Griffin been lettin' me off early these days
On account of night school
She like havin' a maid go to college
Make her feel sort of fancy
I say, it warmish for November
Listen to them frogs
Expecting the moon
I don't hardly ever take the bus now
I gots a boyfriend
He gots a car
We never get to talk no more

[CAROLINE]
Knees hurt, wore out
Same as yesterday, same tomorrow
Too tired to talk

[DOTTY]
Well, how Noah doing?

[CAROLINE]
Ain't my job to mind that boy
You wanna know how Noah do
Ask him yourself

[DOTTY]
Caroline, why you huff at me?
You never used to be that way
All of the sudden so unfriendly
I ain't ever done no harm to you

[CAROLINE]
I don't like the way you do
You change
Gal your age wearin' bobby socks
And saddle shoes
Actin' like I don't know what-all

[DOTTY]
Everyone down to the college
Everyone wear these shoes
And I don't see that you got call to-
You the one that change
You change

[CAROLINE]
Plaid skirt, flipped hair
You's no kid and runs with men, never mind
Drinkin too and smokin' cigarettes
And I don't know what-all

[DOTTY]
You's gettin' pinched and pruny
Like them ladies at your church
Think they come at God's suggestion
Judging this one, judging that one
'Fore you got yourself divorced
'Fore I told you I's goin to night school
'Fore all that you wasn't hateful
Now you got all grim and gospel
Sorry you is sick and shame
Sorry you drinkin' misery tea
Sorry your life ain't what it should be
Don't see why you think it proper
To take it out on me

[CAROLINE]
Seeing as how you ain't ever seen
The inside of a church
I don't think you got perspective
On what the Gospel is
Dotty Moffet
High and mighty
Goin' to college
Every night
Leastest thing that
They could teach you
Is not to talk on what you's wholly
Completely
Abysmally
Ignorant of

[DOTTY]
Where's the moon?
Should be here
Frogs is asking after it
Gibbous moon tonight
And it be warmish for november
Gibbous moon tonight

[MOON]
Moon change

[DOTTY]
Well, you heard on the TV yesterday?

[CAROLINE]
I ain't got a TV

[DOTTY]
That old copper statue
By the courthouse downtown
Honorin' the brave confederate soldier
The South's defender
The civil war
Ain't there no more
It ain't there no more

[CAROLINE]
What you talking about?

[DOTTY]
Last evening
Somebody heist the hateful thing
Unscrewed it
Carried it away

[CAROLINE]
Now, who wanna do a thing like that?

[DOTTY] [CAROLINE]
No witness
Don't got, don't got (It just mean trouble)
No one's name (It mean that trouble on the way)
Don't know, don't know (Don't want to hear that)
Who to blame

[DOTTY]
Standin' there 100 years
Now, that statue, he just disappear
Things change everywhere
Even here
Yeah, you want a smoke
Ms. Piety and Rectitude?
