Lyrics Ry Cooder – Nobody

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

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»?
Nobody

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 nobody
And I ain’t never got nothin’ from nobody 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
