Skip James — Skip’s worried blues

I’m worried now But I won’t be worried long I’m worried now But I won’t be worried long Because I’m gonna pack my suitcase And out the road, I’ll be gone My baby’s got something And I don’t know what it is She got something And I just don’t know what it is Because every time I touch it Lord, I can’t be still Then if I could holler Just like a mountain jack If I could holler Just like a mountain jack I would go on top of the mountain And call my baby back You know T for Texas T for Tennessee T for Texas T for Tennessee And W stand for woman WM stand for worried me Out in the cold With my foldin’ arm Standing out in the cold With my foldin’ arm You know I’m broke and I’m hungry A thousand miles from home You can mistreat me here But you can’t when I get home You can mistreat me here But you can’t when I get home Because I got something That will make you leave me alone You see I’m worried now But I won’t be worried long I worry now But I know I won’t worry long Because I’m gonna pack my suitcase And out the road I’ll be gone
