Blues, Why Do You Worry Me?

(Album: 100 Years Of Blues - 2020)

Blues, why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
Blues, why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
Came to me yesterday, you stayed the whole night long

I wouldn't listen to my people, my friends or nobody else
I wouldn't listen to my people, my friends or nobody else
I had to make mistakes in life, I had to learn it all for myself

I used to drink to keep from worrying, now I ride from town to town
I used to drink to keep from worrying, now I ride from town to town
Don't the highway look lonesome when the sun is sinking down?

Well now, life's been tough but I never had the heart to cry
You know life's been tough but I never had the heart to cry
You know blues don't kill me, boys, I wasn't intended to die

I learned to smile at trouble, I won't let it get me down
I learned to smile at trouble, I won't let it get me down
I'll keep on keeping on 'til the last deal goes down

I ain't lying
