  • Artist:

    Bessie Smith

Bb                   D7               Gm          D7
Aint nothing I can do or nothing I can say
G7              Dm    G7  Cm  G7
That folks don't criticize me
Cm                    G7                         Cm
But I'm gonna do  just as I want to anyway
C7                                  F#7       F7
I don't care if they all despise me

Bb                     D7
If I should  take a notion
Gm                      Eb
to jump into the ocean
Bb                    F7                   Bb   G7  C7  F7
'T aint nobody's business if I do

Bb                      D7
If I go to church on Sunday
Gm                        Eb
Then just Sing the shimmy down on Monday
Bb                     F7                Bb      G7  C7  F7
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

Bb                    D7
If my friend ain't got no money
Gm                        Eb
And I say "take all mine, honey"
Bb                      F7                Bb      G7  C7  F7
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do

Bb                     D7
If I give him my last nickel
Gm                    Eb
And it leaves me in a pickle
Bb                      F7                  Bb   G7  C7  F7
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

Bb                   D7
I'd rather my man would hit me
Gm                 Eb
Than to jump up right and quit me 
Bb                      F7                   Bb  G7  C7  F7
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do

Bb                   D7
I swear I won't call no copper,
Gm                  Eb
If I'm beat up by my poppa
Bb                     F7                   Bb   G7  C7  F7
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
