|
I got plenty o' nuttin'
|
An' nuttin's plenty for me.
|
I got no car, got no mule, and I got no misery.
|
|
De folks wid plenty o' plenty
|
Got have a lock on dey door,
|
'Fraid sombody's a-goin' to rob 'em
|
While dey's out a-makin' more.
|
What for?
|
|
I got no lock on de door
|
Dat's no way to be,
|
Dey can steal de rug from de floor,
|
Dat's okay wid me,
|
"Cause de things dat I prize
|
Like de stars in de skies
|
Are all free.
|
|
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
|
An' nuttin's plenty for me.
|
I got my gal, and got my song,
|
Got Hebben the whole day long!
|
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!
|
|
I got plenty o' nuttin'
|
An' nuttin's plenty for me.
|
I’ve got the sun, and I got the moon
|
And I got the deep blue sea,
|
|
Before with plenty of plenty
|
Got to pray all da’ day
|
Seems with plenty,
|
That you sure got to worry
|
How to keep the devil away
|
Away.
|
|
I ain’t a frettin’ bout hell
|
Til’ the time arrives,
|
Never worry long as I’m well
|
Never want to strive
|
To be good, to be bad, what the hell
|
I’s glad I’s alive.
|
|
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
|
An' nuttin's plenty for me.
|
I got my gal, got my song,
|
Got Hebben the whole day long!
|
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!
