[Performed lyrics]
well don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
your mother will talk about you
your sister and your brothers too
no matter how you try to live
they're gonna talk about you still
so don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
[Original lyrics]
Don't you mind,
People grinnin' in your face.
Don't mind,
People grinnin' in your face.
Your just bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind,
People grinnin' in your face.
You know your mother,
Would talk about you.
Your own sisters and your brothers, too.
They don't care how you're tryin' to live,
They'll talk about you still.
Oh, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind,
People grinnin' in your face.
You know they'll jump,
You up and down.
They'll drag you all 'round and 'round.
Just as soon as your back is turned,
They'll be tryin' to crush you down.
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find.
Don't you mind,
People grinnin' in your face.

Jack White:
"I heard Son House singing [Grinning In Your Face] and it was as if
someone, with a single blow of the axe, had opened up the world to me.
After that, my life received meaning. I can lie in bed in the middle of
the night and feel an ice-cold wind flowing through my body, which makes
me start to shake uncontrollably. Then I have to get up and hear Charley
Patton or Robert Johnson. The American South should be regarded as holy
land by everyone. Everything which is worth anything comes from
there."
