It Aint Nobody's Business

A blues standard in the 1920s and still.
Done by many people. –Sadly, wrongly,
some other early verses seemed to be
Saying, ‘Don’t call the cops about me getting abused’.

Linda Lou in the good hat on GDg git.
John on DGB git.
G is the I chord,
C is the IV chord and D is the V chord.

It Aint Nobody’s Business
By Porter Grainger

It aint (G) nobody’s dirty business
(C) How my baby treats me
(G) Nobody’s business but (D)mine.
It aint (G) nobody’s dirty business
(C) How my baby treats me,
(G) Nobody’s (D) business but my (G) own. (C C G)

Hey baby did you get my letter?
If you take me back, I’ll treat you better.
Nobody’s business but mine.
It aint nobody’s dirty business, how my baby treats me.
Nobody’s business but my own.

Some times my baby gets bluesy, then she tries to rule me.
Nobody’s business but mine.
It aint nobody’s dirty business, how my baby treats me.
Nobody’s business but my own.

Repeat verse one.

RTZ, love that sexy photo. Greg Brown is an eastern Iowan I am western. Haven not met him, but like his music. Am also a big fan of his wife, Iris Dement. Will take and post a photo of the head stock doo-dads.

Thank Mr Jim!

Comment by Uncle John on July 19, 2012 at 8:18pm: Anders, you are a musician. A real one. I think the blues may creep up on you yet.

Reeds, I was studying that tat and briefly thought Slim had a cbg - but on second look, he's saying 'CBGs are #1!

Doc, I just don't know what to say about those shorts. I heard you play and they work for you. Guess that's the blues.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
