Subject: Lyr Add: I DON'T DO NOBODY NOTHIN' From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 06 Nov 01 - 04:12 PM I DON'T DO NOBODY NOTHIN' Cho. I don't do nobody nothin', Jesus, But they hates me just the same, (O Lordy) I don't do nobody nothin', Jesus, But they hates me just the same. (O---mm) It's among the Christian family, That they cause my heart to pain, The sinner he don't know nothin' about me, And he don't carry my name. Cho. (O---mm) I try to stay out of bad comp'ny, You know I try to save my name, But some way or the other, Lord, The people 'bukes me just the same. Cho. (O---mm) Yonder stands sister 'Liza, An' yonder stands Sister Jane, Well, they can't hold a holy conversation Without they 'bukin' my name. Cho. O---mm)I don't do nobody nothin', Jesus, And I can't tell why it is, But somehow or the other, O Lordy, They make me shed those briny tears. Cho. (O---mm) Just let them keep on talkin', O this is all I have to say, I'm goin' to put my trust in Jesus, He will give me rest some day. Cho. For all us put-upon sad sacks out there. 'bukes = rebukes; holy might mean whole. Sung by Rev. Nathaniel Hawkins, Cummins Farm, Arkansas. A variant of a pre-existing tune? On American Memory Lib. Congress site. John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip. @religion @gospel @spiritual |
