Worried Blues

Worried Blues - Mike Seeger

Written by：Trad Hutchison

I've got no worried blues got no heart to cry

Got the worried blues got no heart to cry

If the blues don't kill me boys I'll never die

Some people say worried blues not bad

Some people say worried blues not bad

There the worst old thing a man ever had

They'll make you b'lieve the world is upside down

They'll make you b'lieve the 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

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

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 but I 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 better hike on down the line

When I leave here just hang crepe on the door

When I leave here just hang crepe on the door

I won't be dead just won't be here no more
