Lyrics
I was mindin' my business the other day
Just a-jukin' on down the street
When I seen this perfect stranger
Who come a-sidin' up next to me
He said, "Friend, my old lady just threw me out
And why, I just don't know
But it ain't no joke 'cause I'm hungry and broke
I got no place to go"
I gave him my last twenty dollar bill
And told him to go on home and leave me alone
I don't want nobody whinin' at me
I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me
I got troubles of my own
Well, I went on down to this joint in town
And found somethin' I didn't expect
I was havin' a ball when the door flew open
And who walked in but my ex
She said, "Your alimony payments are way behind
They're six months overdue
And if you don't straighten this out right now
I'm gonna call the law to you"
I said, "Baby, you better remember
Every dog's gonna have his day"
And I just wanna say
I don't want nobody whinin' at me
I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me
I got troubles of my own
The cops came through the front door
And I went out the back
And I caught me a ride on a westbound freight train
Rollin' down the railroad tracks
I went on out to East Saint Louis
And looked up an old friend of mine
I said, "I need a place to lay my head
And brother, I ain't got a dime"
He said, "You better get on out of here, boy"
And he pulled out a gun and I started to run
I don't want nobody whinin' at me
I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me
I got troubles of my own
I don't want nobody whinin' at me
I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me
I don't want nobody whinin' at me
I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me
I don't want nobody moanin' at me
I got troubles of my own
