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 and 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 courage give myself 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 on all right

We lie down on a sofa

Weep and cry all night

When I gets a letter

It never bring good news

Every time I see the mailman

Yonder comes the blues

Go back blues don't you 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 kinds of blues and they're 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
