  • Artist:

    Bessie Smith

Bb5                   D5               G5          D5
Aint nothing I can do or nothing I can say
G5              D5    G5  C5  G5
That folks don't criticize me
C5                    G5                         C5
But I'm gonna do  just as I want to anyway
C5                                  F#5       F5
I don't care if they all despise me

Bb5                     D5
If I should  take a notion
G5                      Eb5
to jump into the ocean
Bb5                    F5                   Bb5   G5  C5  F5
'T aint nobody's business if I do

Bb5                      D5
If I go to church on Sunday
G5                        Eb5
Then just Sing the shimmy down on Monday
Bb5                     F5                Bb5      G5  C5  F5
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

Bb5                    D5
If my friend ain't got no money
G5                        Eb5
And I say "take all mine, honey"
Bb5                      F5                Bb5      G5  C5  F5
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do

Bb5                     D5
If I give him my last nickel
G5                    Eb5
And it leaves me in a pickle
Bb5                      F5                  Bb5   G5  C5  F5
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

Bb5                   D5
I'd rather my man would hit me
G5                 Eb5
Than to jump up right and quit me 
Bb5                      F5                   Bb5  G5  C5  F5
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do

Bb5                   D5
I swear I won't call no copper,
G5                  Eb5
If I'm beat up by my poppa
Bb5                     F5                   Bb5   G5  C5  F5
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
