Let Me Sing and I'm Happy

What care I who makes the laws of a nation Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs What care I who cares for the world's affairs As long as I can sing its popular songs Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, happy Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts who love in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy Let me croon a lowdown blues That lifts you out of your seat If my blues can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet I'm happy Let me sing of Dixie's charms Of cotton fields and mammy's arms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy
