Let It Alone

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-a-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
