Cécile McLorin Salvant - Nobody lyrics

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 beer"? 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!
