If I should  take a notion

'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do 

Bb                     D7 
If I give him my last nickel

And it leaves me in a pickle 
Bb                      F7                  Bb   G7  C7  F7

Bb                   D7 
I'd rather my man would hit me 
Gm                 Eb 
Than to jump up right and quit me

Bb                   D7 
I swear I won't call no copper, 
Gm                  Eb 
If I'm beat up by my poppa 
Bb                     F7                   Bb   G7  C7  F7 
'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
