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 it's never good news, I can't be satisfied because yonder comes the blues Well, I go down to the river each and every day Just trying to keep myself from crying', grieving myself away Well, I walked and I walked till I wore out my shoes Well, I couldn't walk no farther, yonder come the blues Well, some folks never worry, things goes them all right Poor me, lay down on that sofa, weep and cry all night Every time I get a letter, it's always bad news Every time I see the mailman, yonder come the blues Folks have them different blues and think their mighty bad But the blues about a man the worst I've ever had Every man I loved I've been refused And when I want some loving yonder come the blues Go back blues don't you come this way Lord give me something else besides these blues all day Because I feel disgusted and all confused And every time I look around yonder come the blues
