Don't Tell Me Nothin' Lyrics - Willie Dixon

All my life ya been doing me wrong 

Now, I don't know how to get along 

But don't ya tell me nothin' 

But don't ya tell me nothin' 

A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

I can see 

A-rock an rollin' be good for me 

Now don't ya tell me nothin' 

A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

You say it's a dog 

When ya know it's a cat 

You say it's a mouse 

When you know it's a rat 

You say it's fish 

When you know it's a bird 

Tell me nothin' 

'Bout-a what you heard 

Don't ya tell me nothin' 

But don't ya tell me nothin' 

A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

I can see 

A-rockin' rollin' is good for me 

Now don't you tell me nothin' 

A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental) 

You say it's right 

And you know it's wrong 

You say it's short 

And you know it's long 

You say it's low 

When you know it's high 

Tell me the truth 

An don't tell no lie 

A-tell me nothin' 

A-don't you tell-a me nothin' 

Don't ya tell me nothin' 

I can see 

A-rockin' an rollin' is good for me 

A-don't you tell me nothin' 

A-don't you tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

'Ha!' 

You say it's black 

Well you, know it's white 

You say it's day 

When you know it's night 

You'll say it's good 

Well you know, it's mean 

It the finest music that I ever seen 

Don't you tell me nothin' 

Don't you tell me nothin' 

But don't tell me nothin' 

I can see 

A-rock an' rollin' is good for me 

Don't you tell me nothin' 

A-don't you tell me nothin' 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

You say it's diamonds 

And you know it's glass 

You say it's good 

When you know it's bad 

You say it's meat 

When you know it's bread 

You tell me it's gold 

And it's a hunk a-lead 

So, don't ya tell-a me nothin' 

Now, don't ya tell me nothin' 

A-don't ya tell me nothin' 

I can see 

A-rockin' an rollin' is good for me 

Now rock, an tell me nothin' 

Rock, an tell me nothin'
