You made me weep
And you made me moan
Way you cause me to leave my
My happy home
But someday
Ya ain't gonna worry my life any mo'
(guitar)
Ya told ev'rybody
In your neighborhood
What a dirty mistreater
Didn't mean ya no good
But someday
Ya ain't gonna worry my life any mo'
(guitar)
When I had money
I had plenty-a friends
I ain't got no money, baby
Honey, even no friend
But someday
Ya ain't gonna worry my life any more
(guitar)
If I had money
Like Henry Ford
I'll have me a woman on
On ev'ry road
But bye-bye
Ya ain't gonna worry my life any mo'
(guitar to end)
