Worried Blues

The worried blues, mama, they sure do make me feel sad
Worried blues, mama, sure do make me feel sad
If these worried blues don't kill me,
babe, that would be the worst that I ever had

Now, when my baby left me this mornin',
it was 'bout half past four, she say,
"I don't love you.", but still I hate to see you go
It must have been the worried blues, they sure do make me feel sad
"Lord, have mercy!"
If the worried blues, they don't kill me,
then, Sonny, that would be the worst I ever had

It's tune in on your radio, call out all ships, and see,
I'm lookin' for Ella Mae, watchin' and ever she may be
The worried blues, they sure do make me feel sad
If these worried blues,
they don't kill me, then that will be the worst I ever had

I can't eat a bite, I can't sleep at night,
if I don't find Ella Mae, you know I'm gon' lose my sight
The worried blues, sure do make me feel sad
If the worried blues,
they don't kill me, that will be the worst that I ever had

I said, these blues in the mornin',
first thing when I lay down,
if I don't find Ella Mae, I b'lieve I'm gon' lose my mind
These worried blues, mama, sure do make me feel sad
"Lord, have mercy!"
You know, if you ain't gonna find Ella Mae,
that would be the worst blues, mama, I ever had
