Subject: Lyr Add: 'TAIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO (Stokes
My favorite version is by Frank Stokes.
Slightly different title but same basic song.
'TAIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO - Part 2 (Take 2) 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 round in Tennessee Where the girls round here take a like to me Though I won't have no other place to go Now listen at me, baby; be good and kind You mistreat and leave me all the time Ain't nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's business, baby, Nobody's business but mine It ain't nobody's business, honey, Where in the world I spend my money Nobody's business but my own
Now listen, baby, you oughta been told me Fourteen years before you wrote me So I would 'a' had some other place to go I laid my head in the corner of the fence Said crazy 'bout her treatments ever since It ain't nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business, baby, nobody's business, baby, Nobody's business but mine Nobody's business, honey, Where in the world I find my money Nobody's business but my own
I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee Where the gals round here always stay round me It ain't nobody's business but mine I been careful, I stay at home, I've been troubled 'bout you ever since you've been gone It ain't nobody's business, baby, but mine
It ain't nobody's business, honey, Where in the world I spend my money Nobody's business but mine Nobody's business, kid, Where in the world I got my money hid Said it ain't nobody's business but my own
