Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin',
An' nuttin's plenty fo' me.
I got no car, got no mule
I got no misery.
De folks wid plenty o' plenty
Got a lock on de door,
'fraid somebody's gonna rob 'em while
Dey's out a-makin' more.
What for?
I got no lock on de door,
Dat's no way to be.
Dey kin steal de rug from de floor,
Dat's okeh wid me,
'cause de things dat I prize,
Like de stars in de skies,
All are free.
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin',
An' nuttin's plenty fo' me.
I got my gal, got my song,
Got Hebben the whole day long.
Got my gal, got my Lawd,
Got my song.
