I solemnly swear, Lord I raise my right hand That I'm gonna get me a woman you get you another man I solemnly swear, Lord I raise my right hand That I'm gonna get me a woman, babe you get you another man I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read? Oh hurry hurry, the gal you love is dead I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read? Oh hurry hurry, the gal you love is dead I grabbed my suitcase, I took off up the road I got there she was laying on the cooling board I grabbed my suitcase, I took off up the road Oh, when I got there she was laying on the cooling board Well,I walked up close I looked down in her face Good old girl got to lay here till judgement day I walked up close and I looked down in her face Yes, the good old girl got to lay here till judgement day (Aw, sure now. I'm feelin' low down this evenin') Oh, my woman so black she stays apart of this town Can't nothing go when the poor girl is around My black mama stays apart of this town Oh, can't nothing go when the poor girl is around Oh, some people tell me the worried blues aint bad It's the worst old feeling that I ever had Some people tell me the worried blues aint bad But it's the worst old feeling, Lord I ever had Mmm,I fold my arms and I walked away That's alright mama, your trouble will come some day I fold my arms, Lord I walked away Yeah, that's alright mama, your trouble will come some day
