Worried Blues by Frank Hutchison Lyrics

I've got the worried blues, got no heart to cry
Got the worried blues, got no heart to cry
If blues don't kill me, boys, I'll never die

Some people say the worried blues not bad
Some people say the worried blues not bad
There the worst old thing a man ever had

They'll make you b'lieve world is upside down
They'll make you b'lieve world is upside down
I've travelled this world, boys, it's all around

When you got the blues, you can't eat nor sleep
When you got the blues, you can't eat nor sleep
Spoken: What you gonna do then?
You'll walk around like a police on his beat

I dreamt last night lied all back in my bed
I dreamt last night lied all back in my bed
I dreamt last night that the woman I loved was dead
That woman I love, she's done dead and gone
That woman I love, she's done dead and gone
She left me here tryin' to sing my ragtime song

Spoken: How d'you know she's dead there and gone?

Went to the graveyard, looked in the woman's face
I went to the graveyard, looked in the woman's face
I love you honey, sure can't take your place

Take my chair to the river, boys, and I'll sit down
Take my chair to the river, boys, and I'll sit down
If the blues overtakes me, gonna rock overboard and drown

I woke up this morning, freight train on my mind
I woke up this morning, freight train on my mind
I believe, old rounders, I better hike down the line

Gonna leave this country, sure gonna leave it soon
Gonna leave this country, sure gonna leave it soon
An' advise the whole world they sure can have my room

When I leave here, hang crepe on your door
When I leave here, just hang crepe on your door
I won't be dead, I just won't be here no more
