[Intro]
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me

[Verse 1]
When life seems full of clouds and rain
I am filled with naught but pain
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain?
Nobody

And when winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's a quarter
Boy now y'all go and eat"?
Nobody

[Chorus]
Now I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody no time
Until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
Well, I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody no time

[Verse 2]
Then summer comes all cool and clear
And my good friends they see me drawin' near
Who says, "Come on in here, man, have a beer"?
Nobody
Last Christmas eve it was about daybreak
I was in that railroad wreck
And who was it pulled the engine off my neck
Not a livin' soul

[Chorus]
I ain't ever done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody no time
Until I get me somethin' from somebody sometime
Well I been thinkin' it out
And beyond a doubt I ain't gonna do nothin' for nobody no time

Well I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody no time
Nobody no time
