Lord, I feel like blowin' my old lonesome horn
Got up this mornin', my little Bernice was gone

Babe, I been mistreated, baby, and I don't mind dyin'

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

My head down to her toes
