Whistin' Song

Charles David Sharp


No one should know too much about your business 
No one should know too awful much about your business 
It's your own, don't tell nobody, I don't wanna know 
A long time ago I had a good taste of some hard luck 
A long time ago I had a good taste of some hard luck 
Hard work, heartbreak and misery 
And loneliness, hard luck, heartbreak and misery 
I've spent my life running from people I don't even know 
I've spent my life running from people 
I don't even know 
Don't know, don't guess I ever will 
And I hoped and I prayed each and every day 
Lord, take away this fate that befalls me 
Yes, I hoped and I prayed, each and every day 
Lord, take away this fate that befalls 
me 
And then one day I had this feeling come upon me 
Yes, then one day I had this feeling come upon me 
One day sitting on the porch-swing of my Mother's house 
Playing on a guitar that my Brother had 
Coming up with music that I've never heard nowhere
