Standing in the rain by the lamppost

Next to the curb and snow

Standing in the rain by the lamppost

Next to the curb and snow

Wanting to see the one I love

Is leaving me all alone

People the worried blues

Stood by me the whole night through

The worried blues

Stood by me the whole night through

I say Blues

What do you think I can do with you

I meet two people

I don't know your names

I meet two people

I don't know your names

But the blues is weighting my poor heart down

Just like a ball and chain

People I once had a good wife

But those days are passed by

People I once had a good wife

But those days are passed by

Ah these trifling women

Has made me throw my happy home life

If you get a good wife

Try an try to keep her home

If you get a good wife men

All you can to keep her home

As there's women now

Only soon lead a good man roam
