Lyrics I Ain't Got Nobody - Patti Smith, Vince Giordano, The Nighthawks

I Ain't Got Nobody

There’s a saying going 'round
and I begin to think it’s true
It’s awful hard to love some man,
when he don’t care for you
Once I had a lovin' man,
as good as any in town
But now I’m sad and lonely,
he’s gone and turned me down, now
I ain’t got nobody,
nobody and nobody cares for me
I got the blues, the weary blues
And I’m sad and lonely,
won’t some good man come
and take a chance with me?
I’ll sing good songs, all the time
If you’ll come and be my sweet baby mine
'Cause I ain’t got nobody, and nobody cares for me
Won’t somebody go and find
my man and bring him back to me
It’s awful hard to be alone and without sympathy
Once I was a loving gal
as good as any in this town
But since my daddy left me
I’m a gal with her heart bowed down
