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
