<br />

<br />

I got plenty o' nuttin'<br />

An' nuttin's plenty for me.<br />

I got no car, got no mule, and I got no misery.<br />

<br />

De folks wid plenty o' plenty<br />

Got have a lock on dey door,<br />

'Fraid sombody's a-goin' to rob 'em<br />

While dey's out a-makin' more.<br />

What for?<br />

<br />

I got no lock on de door<br />

Dat's no way to be,<br />

Dey can steal de rug from de floor,<br />

Dat's okay wid me,<br />

"Cause de things dat I prize<br />

Like de stars in de skies<br />

Are all free.<br />

<br />

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'<br />

An' nuttin's plenty for me.<br />

I got my gal, and got my song, <br />

Got Hebben the whole day long!<br />

Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!<br />

<br />

I got plenty o' nuttin'<br />

An' nuttin's plenty for me.<br />

I've got the sun, and I got the moon<br />

And I got the deep blue sea,<br />

<br />

Before with plenty of plenty<br />

Got to pray all da' day<br />

Seems with plenty, <br />

That you sure got to worry<br />

How to keep the devil away<br />

Away.<br />

<br />

I ain't a frettin' bout hell<br />

Til' the time arrives,<br />

Never worry long as I'm well<br />

Never want to strive<br />

To be good, to be bad, what the hell<br />

I's glad I's alive.<br />

<br />

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'<br />

An' nuttin's plenty for me.<br />

I got my gal, got my song, <br />

Got Hebben the whole day long!<br />

Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!<br />

<br />
