Bessie Smith - The Collection

'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do

There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm goin' 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
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
If I go to church on Sunday
Sing the shimmy down on Monday
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

If my friend ain't got no money
And I say "Take all mine, honey"
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, if I do

There are a lot of men, that would hit me
Since I've arrived up and quit me
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
I swear I won't call no copper
If I'm beat up by my poppa
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
