Bb D7 Gm D7 There ain't nothin' I can do, nor nothin' I can say, G7 Dm7 G7 Cm G7 That folks don't cri-ti-cize me. Cm G7 Cm C 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 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 Rather than persecute me, Gm Eb I choose that you would shoot me, Bb F7 Bb G7 C7 F7 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 If I should get the feelin' Gm Eb To dance upon the ceiling', Bb F7 Bb G7 C7 F7 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 If I let my best companion Gm Eb Drive me right into the canyon, Bb F7 Bb G7 C7 F7 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 Gm D7 After all the way to do is do just as you please, G7 Dm7 G7 Cm G7 Regardless of their talkin' Cm G7 Cm C Often times the ones that talk will get down on their knees, C7 F#7 F7 And beg your pardon for their squalkin'. Bb D7 If I dislike my lover Gm Eb And leave (him/her) for another, Bb F7 Bb G7 C7 F7 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 If I go to church on Sunday, Gm Eb Then cabaret on Monday, Bb F7 Bb G7 C7 F7 It ain't nobody's business 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 It ain't nobody's business if I do. Bb D7 If I lend (him/her) my last nickel Gm Eb And it leaves me in a pickle, Bb F7 Bb It ain't nobody's business if I do.
