<br>

MISTER<br>

Go on, git! Git outta my house! Leave me alone! Get out of . . . Get out! No! Leave<br>

me alone, you - No! Goddamn bats get out of my -! No! Stop! Get away from<br>

me! Ow! HELP!!!!!<br>

What you lookin' at? Bunch of damn fools. I don't have to stay here, worthless town.<br>

I can walk right down this road. By myself. Never see nobody I know ever again.<br>

NOBODY TO PUT UP WITH.<br>

NOBODY TO MESS WITH ME.<br>

NOBODY TO PUSH ME AROUND.<br>

NOBODY TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO.<br>

NOBODY TO EXPECT SOMETHIN' OF ME.<br>

NOBODY TO TELL ME WHO I AM<br>

AND WHO I AIN'T.<br>

Nobody!<br>

I GOT PLENTY TO BLAME.<br>

MY DADDY BEAT ME,<br>

FOR MY OWN GOOD, HE SAY.<br>

MY FIRST WIFE GOT KILT<br>

WHEN SHE RUN AWAY.<br>

MY KIDS IS ALL FOOLS,<br>

MY CROPS IS ALL DEAD,<br>

ONLY WOMAN I LOVE<br>

WON'T LIE IN MY BED.<br>

A BLACK MAN'S LIFE<br>

CAN'T GET ANY WORSE<br>

'LESS HE WASTIN' AWAY<br>

UNDER MISS CELIE'S CURSE!<br>

SO TELL ME HOW A MAN DO GOOD<br>

WHEN ALL HE KNOW IS BAD?<br>

HARPO HAPPY.<br>

WHAT RIGHT HE GOT TO BE HAPPY?<br>

WIFE LEAVE,<br>

GIRLFRIEND LEAVE HIM, TOO.<br>

HIS MAMA DIE IN HIS ARMS.<br>

SOMEBODY TELL ME<br>

HOW HE KEEP FINDIN'<br>

SO MUCH GOOD FROM SO MUCH BAD?<br>

HIS WIFE COME BACK,<br>

HIS BUSINESS FINE.<br>

EVERYONE SAY<br>

HARPO SHINE.<br>

FOR ALL THEY BEEN THROUGH,<br>

THEY DO JUST FINE.<br>

NOTHIN' I SAY<br>

CHANGE PEOPLE MIND ABOUT ME.<br>

AIN'T GON' BE NOTHIN' I SAY,<br>

GON' BE SOMETHIN' I DO.<br>

MAYBE ALL MY GOOD LAY AHEAD OF ME.<br>

AIN'T GON' BE NOTHIN' I SAY,<br>

GON' BE SOMETHIN' I DO.<br>

MAYBE EVERYTHING I DO.<br>
