People, if you hear me hummin'
On this song both night an day
If you hear me hummin'
On this song both night an day
I'm just a poor boy in trouble
Tryin' to drive my blues away

My blues comes at midnight
An they keep me troubled 'till day
My blues at midnight
An they keep me troubled 'till day
An there is only one woman
That can drive my blues away

So worried an blue
I hardly know just what to do
So worried an blue
I hardly know just what to do
I even cries in my sleep, mama
An it's all on account of you

Do you know what it is, people
To be a worried man?
Do you know what it is, people
Mmm, to be a worried man?
If you never been worried
You really can't understand.

(short piano to end)
