I know this great song is in an Album by the same name. Having trouble finding the lyrics. I don't see any reference to it here on pages I have scanned, or on any of the "lyric-sites."

Here's an excerpt I got by listening to several sound samples. I'm not sure I got the verses in the right order:

No one can see what goes down
If nobody else comes around
Nobody knows what you do

And for sure no one will ever know
You can come and you can go
Nobody knows what you do

Nobody knows what you see....

Here's what I came up with listening to "Nobody Knows What You Do" from John Hartford's album of the same name. Flying Fish Label 1976.

I have an mp3 put up on www.country tabs...it is pretty rough, but enough to give an idea of how it sounds...v.g.

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU DO

Roll your eyes, nobody knows but you.

The chord locations are not accurate, but if you play around with it, you can put them right. I used notepad, but when I pasted here they are off a bit...Verne
