I Ain't Got Nobody - Patti Smith, Vince Giordano, The Nighthawks

There’s a saying going 'round

and I begin to think it’s true

It’s awful hard to love some man,

when he don’t care for you

Once I had a lovin' man,

as good as any in town

But now I’m sad and lonely,

he’s gone and turned me down, now

I ain’t got nobody,

nobody and nobody cares for me

I got the blues, the weary blues

And I’m sad and lonely,

won’t some good man come

and take a chance with me?

I’ll sing good songs, all the time

If you’ll come and be my sweet baby mine

'Cause I ain’t got nobody, and nobody cares for me

Won’t somebody go and find

my man and bring him back to me

It’s awful hard to be alone and without sympathy

Once I was a loving gal

as good as any in this town

But since my daddy left me

I’m a gal with her heart bowed down
