Lyrics for Worried Mind Blues

You made me weep An you made me moan When you caused me to leave my My happy home But someday Ya ain't gonna worry my mind any mo' (guitar) Tol' ev'rybody In yo' neighborhood What a dirty mistreater Didn't mean ya no good But bye-bye, baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any mo' (guitar) When I was in gambling An tried to win You'd taken my money Give to yo', yo' other man But bye-bye, baby Ya ain't gonna worry my mind any mo' Bye-bye, baby Ya ain't gonna worry Worry my mind any Mind, any mo', Lord (guitar) When I was sick down Baby, on my bed Ya come to see me An you walked away But bye-bye Ya ain't gon' worry my mind any mo' (guitar) If I had money Like Henry Ford I'd buy me a woman, on On ev'ry road But bye-bye, honey I ain't gon' worry yo' mind any mo' Bye-bye, baby I ain't gon' worry yo' Worry yo' mind Mind, any mo' No. (guitar to end) ~
