'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do

There ain't nothin' I can do

Or nothin' 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

'Taint nobody's business if I do, do, do, do

If I go to church on Sunday

Then just shimmy down on Monday

'Taint nobody's business if I do, if I do

If my friend ain't got no money

And I say, "Take alla mine, honey"

'Taint nobody's business if I do, do, do, do

If I give him my last nickel

And it leaves me in a pickle

'Taint nobody's business if I do, if I do

Well, I'd rather my man would hit me

Than to jump right up and quit me

'Taint nobody's business if I do, do, do, do

I swear I won't call no copper

If I'm beat up by my papa

'Taint nobody's business if I do, if I do
