I'm worried in mind, stay worried all the time 
Someday I'll be satisfied 
It's your time now, but it's my time after a while 
Oh say, if things don't get no better 
I'm gonna move on down the line 
'Cause when you was my baby 
I treated you nice an' kind 
But baby, I have changed my mind 
I was crazy 'bout you, baby 
Crazy as a man could be 
So now when I leave ya now baby, don't try an' follow me 
You gonna wake up one-a these mornin's, and it won't be long 
And look for me an' I will be gone 
So bye-bye baby, babe you know you've done me wrong 
So try your best to forget, that I ever held you in my arms 
Yes, yes, yes 
You gonna worry 'bout me, one a-these old lonesome days 
An' your daddy be far away 
So long peoples an' sweetheart, I'll soon be on my way 
You're goin' to be sorry, that you let me go 'round still
