Ten Thousand Dollar Gold Chain - Oh! Sweet Nuthin' [Album Version] Lyrics

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
He knocked the 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 off his feet
And threw the 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

And say a word for Perly May
She can't tell night from the day
They threw her out into the street
Just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for Johnie Love
She ain't got nothing at all
With every day she falls in love
And every night she falls

And when she does she says

Oh! Sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh! Sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Oh, say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing, nothing at all, not a thing
Not the shirt, the shirt on his back
He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger
Walked with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet
And threw the poor boy out into the street

And this is what he said

Oh! Sweet nuthin'
He ain't got nothing at all
Oh! Sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
