I’m worried in mind

Stay worried all the time

Someday I’ll be satisfied

It’s your time now

But it’s my time after a while

Oh said, if things don’t get no better

I’m gonna move on down the line

'Cause when you was my baby

I treated you nice and kind

But baby I have changed my mind

I was crazy 'bout you, baby

Crazy as a man could be

So now, when I leave ya now, baby

Don’t try an follow me

You gonna wake up

One a these mornin’s

An it ain’t gonna be long

And look for me

An I will be gone

So bye-bye, baby

Babe, you know you’d done me wrong

So try your best to forget

That I ever held you in my arms

'Yas, yas, yas'

(instrumental & piano)

You gonna worry 'bout me

One a-these old lonesome days

An yo' daddy’ll be far away

So long peoples an sweetheart

I’ll soon be on my way

You’re going to be sorry

That you let me go run, still
