Well, some folks says the worried blues ain't bad

Well, some folks said the worried blues ain't bad

But that must not be these old worried blues I had

He lay down for dreamin', I just can't sleep for cryin'

He lay down for dreamin', I just can't sleep for cryin'

Cause the blues ain't nothin' but a woman on a weak man's mind

The worried blues, the worried blues ain't bad

Honey, worried blues, the worried blues ain't bad

But that is the worse-est old blues, that I ever had

A brown skin woman will make you take your time

Lord, a brown skin woman will make you take your time

And a brown skin woman a-make-a weak-eyed man go blind

If that's your woman, you better pin her to your side

If that's your woman, you'd better pin her to your side

And she see me with a dollar, Lord she will go wild

If ya meet my woman, tell her to hurry home

If you meet my woman, you tell her to hurry home

Cause I ain't had a dollar, since my baby been gone.
