Mind Your Own Business [Health & Happiness Show Seven, October 1949] Songtext
von Hank Williams

There′s a little tune we get an awful lot of requests for
I've been lookin′ through the mail
Lotta folks want me to dedicate this to this and to that and the other one
I wrote this but I didn't write it for no special somebody
I just wrote to be writin' somethin′
The title of it is, "If You Mind Your Own Business Then You Won′t Be Minding Mine"

If the wife and I are fussin', brother, that′s our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman′s got a license to fight

Why don't you mind your own business?
Mind your own business
′Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

There′s a woman on our party line′s the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring

Why don′t she mind her own business?
Mind your own business
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won′t be mindin' mine

If I wanna stay out ′til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry ′bout me


You just mind your own business?
Mind your own business
′Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin′ mine

If I get my head beat black and blue
Now, that's my wife and my store wood too

Why don′t you mind your own business?
Mind your own business
'Cause if you mind your business, then you won′t be mindin' mine

Mindin' other people′s business seems to be high-toned
It takes all my time just to mind my own

Why don′t you mind your own business?
Mind your own business
'Cause if you mind your own business, you′ll stay busy all the time

There's a little prophesy in a song
Titled, Mind Your Own Business
Friend, if you listen to this message here now
You′ll be minding your own business
Because this is really good business
We'll be back with you in just a second
