Henry Thomas Texas Worried Blues
I've got the worried blues : Lord I'm feeling bad
I've got no one: tell my troubles to
You can box me up : and send me to my ma
If my ma don't want me : send me to my pa
If my pa don't want me : send me to my girl
If my girl don't want me : cast me in the sea
So the fish and the whales : make a fuss all over me
I'm going to build me : a heaven of my own
I'm going to give : all good‑time women a home
Get your hat and your coat : get shaking it all down the
line
Now fare thee my honey : fare thee
