I worry all day, I worry all the night
Every time my love come home, he always fuss and fight
I pick up the paper to read me the news,
Just as I'm satisfied, yonder come those blues
I go down to the river each and every day
(?) and blow myself away
I walked and walked around without out my shoes
I can't walk no further, yonder come those blues
So long blues, don't you come this way
Lord, give me something else beside the blues all day
Everyone I dug, I've been refused
Every time I need some loving yonder come those blues
People have different blues and think they're mighty bad
But blues about lovers are the worst I've ever had
Every time I look up, oh, I feel so confused
Every time I look around yonder come those blues
Every time my love come home, he always fuss and fight
I pick up the paper to read me the news,
Just as I'm satisfied, yonder come those blues
I go down to the river each and every day
(?) and blow myself away
I walked and walked around without out my shoes
I can't walk no further, yonder come those blues
So long blues, don't you come this way
Lord, give me something else beside the blues all day
Everyone I dug, I've been refused
Every time I need some loving yonder come those blues
People have different blues and think they're mighty bad
But blues about lovers are the worst I've ever had
Every time I look up, oh, I feel so confused
Every time I look around yonder come those blues
