Lemon's Worried Blues Lyrics

Blind Lemon Jefferson Lemon's Worried Blues

I'm going to tell you why : I got Lemon's lowdown worried
blues
I left my meal ticket down at : my pot of chitlings
boiling a little past noon

Lord I'm worried here : worried everywhere I go
I worried my rider so late last night : she had a mule
wagon backed up to my door

I woke up this morning : took a walk till the break of
day
I asked for a woman to marry me : and I just made my
get‑away

I woke up this morning : woke up about half past ten
Ease my head in the window : she's singing Lemon's
worried blues again

Worried so bad : can't tell my stockings from my shoes
I lay down last night : with Lemon's lowdown worried
blues

Lord what makes that [banty] rooster : he keeps crowing
for the dawn of day
His man better watch his footsteps for the hen : now
doggone his ways
