Verse

Say a word for Jimmy Brown

He ain't got nothing at all

Not a shirt right of his back

He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown

Walks with his head down to the ground

Took the shoes right of his feet

To poor boy right out in the street

Chorus

And this is what he said

Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Say a word for Polly May

She can't tell the night from the day

They threw her out in the street

But just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for Joanna Love

She ain't got nothing at all

'Cause everyday she falls in love

And every night she falls when she does

She said

Oh sweet nuthin'

You know she ain't got nothing at all

Oh sweet nutin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh let me hear you!

Say a word for Jimmy Brown

He ain't got nothing at all

Not a shirt right of his back

He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown

Walks with his head down to the ground

Took the shoes right of his feet

To poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said

Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

She ain't got nothing at all

etc.

I often wonder how beautiful three chords can be...
