INTRO

I'm on my way, around the world, when I get back, I'll have diamonds and pearls

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself

Got locked up in jail, that's no hangin' crime, now I'm on the farm, I'm doing time

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself

SOLO

I got a wife, I got fourteen kids, I ain't ashamed, don't try to keep it hid

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself

I got a house full of womens, they all full of filth, I can take care of them, I don't need no help

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself

SOLO

Old cross-eyed Sue told old pop-eyed Jim,

"Call Uncle Sam, so's that I can take care of them."

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself

Now, the jack and the mule running neck to neck, the jack told the mule," I got you, son, what you bet?"

REFRAIN: All by myself, all by myself

I don't need nobody to help me, I can do it all by myself
