I worry all day, I worry all night Every time my man comes home, he wants to fuss and fight When I pick up the paper and read the news, just as I'm satisfied, yonder comes the blues
Went down to the river each and every day Trying to keep my courage give myself a break I walked and walked till I wore out my shoes I can't walk no further, yonder comes the blues
Folks never worry, things go on all right We lie down on a sofa, weep and cry all night When I gets a letter, it never bring good news Every time I see the mailman, yonder comes the blues
Go back blues don't you come this way Give me something else beside the blues all day Every man I love, I've been refused And when I want some loving yonder comes the blues
All kinds of blues and they're mighty bad Blues that bother me are the worst I've ever had I've been disgusted and all confused every time I look around yonder come those blues
