[Verse]
A dark brown lady sang a tale of woe
I said a tale of woe, and it went just so:
I love one man straight to his bones
'Twas a gent named Abraham Lincoln Jones
I caught him lyin' and he broke his vow
And I can't put faith in nobody now
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gettin' so you can't trust nobody none of the time
The more you trust them, the more you'll find
They'll grieve you and deceive you 'til you lose your mind
A-he took his departure, but here's why I'm blue
He took my rent away with him too
Oh, it's gettin' so you can't trust nobody none of the time
[Chorus]
I said it's gettin' so you can't trust nobody nonе of the time
The morе you trust them, the more you'll find
They'll grieve you and deceive you 'til you lose your mind
Turn your back a minute and see what you lose
They'll steal the feet right out of your shoes
Oh, it's gettin' so you can't trust nobody none of the time
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Nothing that could happen would give me surprise
I even caught my grandma makin' eyes
Oh, it's gettin' so you can't trust nobody none of the time
It’s Getting So You Can’t Trust Nobody was written by Henry Creamer & Turner Layton.
