There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say Some folks will criticize me So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway And don't care if you all despise me If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean It ain't nobody's business if I do If I go to church on Sunday And I shimmy down on Monday It ain't nobody's business if I do And if my friend ain't got no money And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey," It ain't nobody's business if I do If I lend her my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle It ain't nobody's business if I do I would rather my gal would hit me Than to haul right up and quit me It ain't nobody's business if I do I know that she won't call no copper If she gets beat up by her poppa It ain't nobody's business if I do, Lord no Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do
