I've got the worried blues, got no heart to cry
I've got the worried blues, got no heart to cry
If the blues don't kill me, boys I'll never die
Some people say the worried blues not bad
Some people say the worried blues not bad
They're the worst old things a man ever had
They'll make you b'lieve world is upside down
They'll make you b'lieve world is upside down
I've traveled this world, boys it's all around
When you got the blues, you can't eat nor sleep
When you got the blues, you can't eat nor sleep
You walk around like a police on his beat
Dreamt last night, lyin' all back in bed
I dreamt last night, lyin' all back in the bed
I dreamt last night that the woman I love was dead
That woman I love she's done dead and gone
That woman I love she's done dead and gone
She left me here tryin' to sing my ragtime song
Went to the graveyard looked in a woman's face
I went to the graveyard looked in a woman's face
I love you honey, sure can't take your place
Take my chair to the river, boys, and I'll sit down
Take my chair to the river, boys, and I'll sit down
If the blues overtakes me, gonna rock overboard and drown
I woke up this morning, freight train on my mind
I woke up this morning, freight train on my mind
I b'lieve, old rounders, I had better hike down the line
Gonna leave this country, sure gonna leave it soon
Gonna leave this country, sure gonna leave it soon
And if I so (whirl?) they sure gonna have my room
When I leave here, hang crepe on your door
When I leave here, just hang crepe on your door
I won't be dead, just won't be here no more
