Lyrics
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
I have an abundance of nothing
And nuttin's plenty for me
And having nothing is sufficient for me
I got no car, got no mule
I don't possess a car or a mule
I got no misery
I don't have any sorrow or trouble
De folks wid plenty o' plenty
People with a lot of material wealth
Got a lock on de door
Have a lock on their doors
'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em
They fear someone might rob them while they're away making more
While dey's out a-makin' more
Why do they do it?
What for?
I don't have a lock on my door
I got no lock on de door
That's not how I live
Dat's no way to be
They can take things from my home, and it's okay with me
Dey kin steal de rug from de floor
Because the things I value are free
Dat's okeh wid me
Like the stars in the sky
'Cause de things dat I prize
All are available without cost
Like de stars in de skies
All are free
I have an abundance of nothing
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
I have a sweetheart, I have my music
And nuttin's plenty for me
I have Heaven throughout the entire day
I got a gal, got my song
No point in complaining
Got Hebben the whole day long
I have my sweetheart, I have my Lord
No use complaining
I have my music
Got my gal, got my Lawd
Got my song
I have an abundance of nothing
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
I have the sun, the moon, and the vast sea
And nuttin's plenty for me
People with abundant wealth
I got the sun, got the moon
Have to pray throughout the day
Got the deep blue sea
It seems with plenty, you're always worried about keeping evil away
De foks wid plenty o' plenty
Away from you
Got to pray all de day
I'm not worried about hell until it's time
Seems wid plenty you sure got to worry
I never worry as long as I'm healthy
How to keep the debbel away
I'm not one to strive to be good or bad
Away
What the hell
I ain't frettin 'bout hell
I am glad to be alive
'Till de time arrive
Never worry long as I'm well
I have an abundance of nothing
Never one to strive
And having nothing is sufficient for me
To be good, to be bad
I have a sweetheart, I have my music
What the hell
I have Heaven throughout the entire day
I is glad I's alive
No point in complaining
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty for me
I have an abundance of nothing
I got a gal, got my song
And having nothing is sufficient for me
Got Hebben the whole day long
I have a sweetheart, I have my music
No use complaining
I have Heaven throughout the entire day
Got my gal, got my Lawd
No point in complaining
Got my song
I have my sweetheart, I have my Lord
