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 to read about the news, Just as I'm satisfied, yonder comes the blues I went down to the river each and every day Trying to keep from crying' and do my self away I walked and walked till I wore out my shoes I can't walk no further, yonder comes the blues Some folks never worry, things all go all right Or lay down on that sofa, weep and cry all night When I get a letter, it never brings good news Every time I see the mail, babe, yonder comes the blues Go back blues don't come this way Oughta 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 People have different blues and think their mighty bad But 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
