Nobody Songtext
von Cécile McLorin Salvant

When life seems full of clouds an′ rain
And I am filled with naught but pain
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin′ brain?
Nobody

When winter comes with snow an' sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin′ to eat"?
Nobody


I ain′t never done nothin' to nobody
I ain′t never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
And until I get somethin′ from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time

When summer comes all cool and clear
And my friends seen me drawing near
Who says: "come on, let's have a bear"?
Nobody

When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I′d cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody


I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain′t never got nothin′ from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody
I will never do nothing for nobody, no time
