First recorded in 1922 by Anna Meyers with the Original Memphis Five quintet, our Music of the Week is one of the great blues classics and a grand song of financial freedom and freedom of choice. The song has been recorded and performed numerous times and is presented here in the version by Tennessee blues legend Frank Stokes.

To this day, the reason why 5% of Americans, most of them black, don’t have bank accounts, is that they don’t want Mr. Global getting their digital, financial data. They know the game.

This is one of our candidates for the “Stop CBDCs” theme song!

Lyrics

Said, my old lady, said, she wrote me a letter
She told me you're bound to treat me better
Nobody's business but mine
Now, she wrote the letter and she wrote sayin' "Hey
If you're goin' to a better, daddy, you better make haste"
Ain't nobody's business but my own

It ain't nobody's business, honey
Where I find my money
Nobody's business but mine
It ain't nobody's business, kid
Who in the world I do my business with
Now, it ain't nobody's business but my own
I laid my head there just between 'em
Swore to the world I hadn't never seen her
It ain't nobody's business but mine
Now, I think that rooster ain't got no comb
Poor roustabout ain't got no home
It ain't nobody's business but my own

It ain't nobody's business, honey
Where in the world I find my money
Nobody's business but mine
It ain't nobody's business, honey
Where in the world I find my money
Nobody's business but my own

Now, I said, baby, you oughta been told
Been fourteen years before you wrote me
So I had some other place to go
Now, baby, you oughta been told
Been fourteen years before you wrote me
So I had some other place to go

It ain't nobody's business, kid
Where in the world I got my money hid
It ain't nobody's but mine
It ain't nobody's business, honey
Where in the world I find my money
Nobody's business but my own

This business, baby
Nobody's business, baby
No business but mine
Nobody's business, honey
