Yonder Comes the Blues

Yonder Comes the Blues - Odetta

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 the news

Just as I'm satisfied yonder comes the blues

Went down to the river each and every day

Trying to keep my carriage give my self a break

I walked and walked till I wore out my shoes

I can't walk no further yonder comes the blues

Folks never worry things go all alright

We lay down on sofa weep and cry all night

When I get a letter it never brings good news

Every time I see the mail man

Yonder comes the blues

Go back blues don't come this way

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

All comes blues and their mighty bad

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
