Let It Alone Lyrics - Big Iron World - Old Crow Medicine Show

While the traveling through this big iron world 

It'll sometimes ask of you 

To give advice at certain times 

And tell folks what to do 

Well, at this time, I'm gonna tell you 

What's the wisest plan 

When it comes to mixing in with things 

That you just don't understand, hmm 

Let it alone, let it alone 

If it don't concern you, let it alone 

Don't go around putting on airs 

And meddling in other folks' affairs 

If you don't know, say so 

Mind your own business and let it alone 

Well, you see two people fighting 

Them man and woman, say 

You think that it's a crime for them 

To carry on that way 

Well, you think that you could stop that row 

But just as you draw nigh 

The lady with the poker 

Strikes the gentleman across the eye 

Let it alone, let it alone 

If it don't concern you, let it alone 

They know their business, all right, all right 

They practice that way every night 

If you go buttin' in, they'll break your chin 

So mind your own business and let it alone 

Well, you say that love's against you 

And on your weary way 

Well, lying in the gutter 

A drunken man, we'll say 

He's lying in the gutter 

And you can tell that he's all in 

But on his necktie plainly gleams 

A great big diamond pin 

Let it alone, let it alone 

He's not your pal, so let it alone 

The man is drunk, it may be true 

But the diamond don't belong to you 

So shut your eyes and eat some sighs 

Turn around and beat it and leave it alone
