Another "side" from the same recording session:

'TAIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO - Part 2 (Take 1) (3:10)
As sung by Frank Stokes on "Memphis Rounder: The Complete Victor Recordings in Chronological Order (1928-1929)" (Document Records, DOCD-5013)

I'm goin' stay around this town
Where the gals won't allow me to walk around.
Ain't nobody's business but mine.
I'm goin' stay in Memphis, Tennessee,
While the gals in Memphis take a like to me.
Now it nobody's business but my own.

It ain't nobody's business, honey,
However I spend my money,
Nobody's business but mine.
It ain't nobody's business, kid,
Where in the world I got my money hid.
It ain't nobody's business but my own.

Now listen at me, baby: why don't you be kind?
You talk to me so rough all the time.
Ain't nobody's business but mine.
If I had my way I'd 'a' stayed with you,
Sayin' goodbye to thing want me to do.(?)
Baby, it ain't nobody's business but my own.

It ain't nobody's business, honey,
Where in the world I find my money—
Nobody's business but mine.
It ain't nobody's business, baby,
However I treat my Sadie—
Nobody's business but mine.

I'm gwine stay around in Memphis, Tennessee,
Where ... work all on me—(?)
Nobody's business but mine.
If I had my way I'd let you alone.
Wish to God I'd 'a' stayed at home.
It ain't nobody's business but my own.

It ain't nobody's business, honey,
How in the world I spend my money—
Nobody business but mine.
It ain't nobody's business, honey,
Where in the world I find my money—
Nobody's business but my own.

It ain't nobody's business, kid,
Who in the world I do my business with.
Said it ain't nobody's business but mine.
