Said my old man, she wrote me a letter
He told me he was gonna treat me better
Nobody's business but mine

Now, he wrote this letter and he wrote sayin'
"Hey, if you're goin' to a better, child, you better make haste"
Ain't nobody's business but my own

It ain't nobody's business, honey, where I find my money
Nobody's business but mine
It ain't nobody's business, kid, who I do my business with
Nobody's business but my own

Now baby, I said, you oughta been told
Been fourteen years before you wrote me
So I had some other place to go

Now, I think that a rooster ain't got no comb
A poor roustabout ain't got no home
Nobody's business but my own

It ain't nobody's business, kid, where I got my money hid
It ain't nobody's but mine
It ain't nobody's business, honey, where I find my money
Nobody's business but my own
My business business baby
Business business baby
Nobody's business but my own
