I Don't Lovey Nobody

Cat. #0656 (MFH #157) - As sung by Reba Dearmore, Mountain Home, Arkansas on January 7, 1969

VERSE 1
I was borned down in Kanetucky
I've lived there all my life
I've been so very lucky
I've never had a wife
I'm a gwine to live single
Always to be free
Never to lovey nobody
Nobody lovey me

CHORUS:
I don't loved nobody
Nobody lovey me
Their after my money
They don't care for me
I'se gwine to live single
Always to be free
Never to lovey nobody
Nobody lovey me

VERSE 2
One night I went out promenading
Down on Johnson Street
I met a colored lady
With a smile on me so sweet
She said, Hello my honey
I thought I had her dead
But when I went to kiss her
This is what she said,
