Never Ain't Nothin'

about

In answer to the English scholars who point out all the double negatives in Blues songs and other roots music, a triple negative to set the thing straight. And more importantly, it's not a conspiracy - there IS always something going on... Never ain't nothin'!

lyrics

Never ain't nothin'
What's he got in that sack
I don't think a football
Would be dripping like that
I bet if you scrape his fingernails
You’ll find enough to put that boy in jail
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on

They said she was a spinster
And that she never was wed
But her sisters were dumbstruck
When the will it was read
She had a son living in the Ukraine,
Two in France and a daughter in Spain
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on

I know you think I'm a stupid old man
But I'm always proved right
It's not gone, it's in his other hand
Ahhh, you only see what's in the light

He says he's so complicated
That you can't figure him out
He's got so many layers
He can't do nothing about
Says he's like an onion and I know why
He never fails to make the women cry
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on

I know you think I'm a mean hearted cynic
But i'm never proved wrong
You see the box, but i see what's in it
Ahhh, just keep your rose-tinted's on

Never ain't nothin'
Sometimes you gotta dig deep
Check the back of your cupboards
Trust the doubts in your sleep
And while your digging up those bones
Be sure to keep one eye on your own
Never ain't nothin', always somethin' going on
