Fred's Worried Life Blues
You made me weep, and you made me moan
When you call me to leave my, my happy home
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore
You told everybody, in your neighborhood,
What a dirty mistreater, didn't mean you no good
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore
When I had money, I had plenty friends
I ain't got no money, baby, honey even no friends
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore
If I had money, like Henry Ford
I'd have me a woman on, on every road
But bye bye, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore
