Know 'bout 'at I got these, old walking blues

Lord, I feel like blowing my old lonesome horn
Got up this morning, my little Bernice was gone
Lord, I feel like blowing my lonesome horn
Well I got up this morning all I had was gone

I've feel mistreated and I don't mind dying
Leaving this morn', I have to ride a blind
Babe, I been mistreated, baby, and I don't mind dying

Well, some people tell me that the worried blues ain't bad
Worst old feeling I most ever had, some
People tell me that these old worried old blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feeling, I 'most ever had

My head down to her toes, oh how nice
Lord she break in on a dollar most anywhere she goes
