Nobody

Ry Cooder

Nobody knows the trouble I see 
Nobody knows but me
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 you go and eat"? 

Nobody

I ain't never done nothin' 
to nobody

And I ain't never got nothin' 
from a nobody 
no time 

And until I get somethin' 
from somebody sometime, 
Well, I don't intend to do nothin' 
for nobody 
no time

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"? 

No-body

Last christmas eve it was about daybreak 

I was in that railroad wreck 

And who was it hauled the engine off my neck 

Not a livin' soul

I ain't ever done nothin' 
to no-body 

And I ain't never got nothin' 
from no-body 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
I don't intend to do nothin' 
for nobody 

Nobody no time, no time 

Nobody no time  


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