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.
