MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.

If the [D] wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight [D7]
Why don't you [G7] mind your own business
   (Mind [D] your own business)
'Cause if mind [A7] your business, then you won't be mindin' [D] mine.

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business
   (Mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business
   (Mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you sure wont be mindin' mine.

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.
Just mind your own business
   (Mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I might tell a lot of stories that may not be true
But I can get to Heaven just as easy as you
Why don't you mind your own business
   (Mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business
   (Mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.
