Ruth Etting - I Ain't Got Nobody

To Rate
There's been a sayin' goin' round
And I begin to think it's true
It's awful hard to love someone
When they don't care about you

Once I had a lovin' man
As good as any in town
But now I’m sad and lonely
For he’s gone and turned me down

'Cause I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me
And I'm sad and lonely
Won't somebody come and take a chance with me?

I'll sing sweet love songs, honey, all the time
If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine
'Cause I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me

If I only had someone
That I could only call my own
For I would marry them at once
And take them to my little homе

Every night, I sigh and cry
No happiness is all I find
I have no onе to love me
No one to content my mind

'Cause I ain't got no, no, no, nobody
And nobody nobody nobody cares about me
That’s why I’m sad and, sad and lonely
Won't somebody come and take a little chance with me?

I'll sing, I’ll sing sweet love songs, honey honey, all the time
If you'll, if you’ll only come and be my sweet baby mine
'Cause I ain't got no, no, no nobody
And nobody, nobody, nobody cares about poor, poor, poor little old me

Too bad

Ruth Etting

Ruth Etting (1897-1978) peaked as a radio and Broadway singer in the 1920s and ‘30s. Initially, she announced her retirement in 1935 and again in 1937. Her retirement was complicated by her ex-husband and manager Moe Snyder, an abusive man who made threats against her and others around her. In 1938, he shot her new boyfriend and pianist Harry Myrl Alderman and was convicted of attempted murder. This part of her life was dramatized in the 1953 musical film Love Me or Leave Me. She and Alderman lived quietly in Colorado until her death.
