Lyrics T'ain't Nobody's Biz-Ness If I Do - Bessie Smith

T'ain't Nobody's Biz-Ness If I Do

There ain’t nothing I can do or nothing I can say
That folks don’t criticize me But I’m going to do just as I want to anyway
And don’t care if they all despise me If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
'T ain’t nobody’s business if I do, do, do, do If I go to church on Sunday
Sing the shimmy down on Monday
Ain’t nobody’s business if I do, if I do
If my friend ain’t got no money
And I say, «Take all mine honey»
'T ain’t nobody’s bizness if I do, do, do, do If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
'T ain’t nobody’s bizness if I do, if I do
There are __________ would hit me Since _________ up and quit me
'T ain’t nobody’s bizness if I do, do, do, do I swear I won’t call no copper
If I’m beat up by my papa
'T ain’t nobody’s bizness if I do, if I do
