Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

BB King, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody's Business
There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say, Some folks will criticize me. So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway, And don't care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I go to church on Sunday And I shimmy down on Monday, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
And if my friend ain't got no money And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey," It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me Than to haul right up and quit me. It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I know that she won't call no copper If she gets beat up by her poppa. It ain't nobody's business if I do, Lord no. Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do.
Billie Holiday, Freddie King

And I shimmy down on Monday,
