Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with naught but pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain?
Nobody
[Verse 2]
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents
Go on, get something to eat?"
Nobody
[Verse 3]
I ain't never done nothing to nobody
I ain't never got nothing from nobody, no time
And until I get something from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time
[Verse 4]
When summer comes, all cool and clear
And my friends see me drawing near
Who says "Come on, let's have a beer?"
Nobody
[Verse 5]
When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody
[Verse 6]
I ain't never done nothing to nobody
I ain't never got nothing from nobody, no time
And until I get something from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time
