Nobody
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, um?
Nobody!
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin'
To eat, go on why doncha"?
Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time
When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!
One time when things was lookin' bright
I started to whittle on a stick one night
Who cried out, "Stop now, that's dynamite"?
Not a soul!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get something from somebody, sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time
