T'ain't Nobody's Business (Jimmy Witherspoon at Monterey) - Jimmy Witherspoon

There ain’t nothin' I can do, or nothin' I can say

That folks don’t criticise me,

But I’m going to do just as I want to anyway,

And don’t care if you all despise me!

If I should take a notion

To jump into the ocean,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, do, do!

If I go to church on Sunday,

Then just shimmy down on Monday,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, if I do!

If my friend ain’t got no money,

And I say, «Take all mine, honey»,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, do, do do!

If I give him my lasy nickel,

And it leaves me in a pickle,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, if I do!

There, I’d rather my man was hittin' me,

Than to jump right up and quittin' me,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, do, do do!

I swear I won’t call no copper

If I’m beat up by my papa,

'T'aint nobody’s business if I do, if I do!
