When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, b**ping brain, uummm?
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
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, b**ping brain, uummm?
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
