| Nobody knows the trouble I see
|
| Nobody knows but me
|
| When life seems full of clouds and rain
|
| I am filled with naught but pain
|
| Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain?
|
| Nobody
|
| And when winter comes with snow and sleet
|
| And me with hunger and cold feet
|
| Who says, «Here's a quarter
|
| Boy now y’all go and eat»?
|
| Nobody
|
| Now I ain’t never done nothin' to nobody
|
| And I ain’t never got nothin' from nobody no time
|
| Until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
|
| Well, I don’t intend to do nothin' for nobody no time
|
| Then summer comes all cool and clear
|
| And my good friends they see me drawin' near
|
| Who says, «Come on in here, man, have a beer»?
|
| Nobody
|
| Last Christmas eve it was about daybreak
|
| I was in that railroad wreck
|
| And who was it pulled the engine off my neck
|
| Not a livin' soul
|
| I ain’t ever done nothin' to nobody
|
| And I ain’t never got nothin' from nobody no time
|
| Until I get me somethin' from somebody sometime
|
| Well I been thinkin' it out
|
| And beyond a doubt I ain’t gonna do nothin' for nobody no time
|
| Well I don’t intend to do nothin' for nobody no time
|
| Nobody no time |
