Subject: RE: Tune Req: I dont love nobody
These are the words I used to sing way back, but I've no recollection of their source.

Ch:
I don't love nobody, nobody loves me.
You're after my money, you don't care 'bout me.
Think I'll stay single, always be free.
I don't love nobody, nobody loves me.

I met Miss Martha Johnson, down at the Spinners' Ball.
She tried her best to fool me, but that wouldn't work at all.
She told me that 'bout her troubles, She asked me for a dime.
I'll have to go now, Baby, 'cos you're no girl of mine.

I went out promenading, down on Decatur Street.
I met a little lady, she smiled on me so sweet.
She told me that she loved me, would marry me quick as wink.
I'm going home now, Baby, I'll tell you what I think,

I moved to Alabama to settle down for life.
I met a little girl named Hannah, and I chose her for my wife.
It being on a Sunday, I asked that girl to wed,
I met a little girl on Monday, and this is what I said,
