Nobody

When life seems full of clouds and rain

And I am full of nothin' and pain

Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, umm?

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
