[Non-Verbal Vocal Solo]
[Verse 1]
My babe went away
Day 'fore yesterday
Somethin' must be wrong
Appetite is gone
'Cause all the time
He rests on my mind
[Verse 2]
Night and day I weep
And walk in my sleep
Trouble 'round me creep
I refuse to eat
'Cause all the time
He rests on my mind
[Verse 3]
Trouble, trouble, that's my middle name
Why, my man went away, and I ain't to blame
I'm going down to the dock, jump into the sea
Let the fish and whales make a fuss over me
'Cause I'm worried all thе time
[Verse 4]
I'm worried now, but I won't be worriеd long
Takes a worried woman to sing this worried song
I went downtown today, bought myself a knife
So when I meet that man, I'm going to take his life
'Cause I'm worried all the time
