When life seems full of clouds an' rain
and I am filled with naught but pain,
who soothes my thumpin' b**pin' brain?
Nobody!
When winter comes with snow an' sleet
and me with hunger and cold feet
who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin' to eat"?
Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
and until I get somethin' from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time!
When summer comes all cool and clear
and my friends seen me drawing near
who says: "Come on, let's have a bear"?
Nobody!
When I was in that railroad wreck
and thought I'd cashed in my last check
who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
and until I get somethin' from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time!
and I am filled with naught but pain,
who soothes my thumpin' b**pin' brain?
