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.
