What's on your worried mind?
You keep your poor man worried and bothered all the time

Baby, baby, what makes you mistreat me so?
I've done all that a poor boy could do
Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy

I helped you, baby, when your kinfolks turned you down
Now you're loving someone else, babe, and you done left this town

Looky-here, baby, what more you want me to do
I've sacrificed my mother just to get along, 'long with you

Take my woman, I won't get mad with you
'Cause she three times seven and she knows what she want to do

[Verse 11]
Woke up this morning, I was half-most dead
I was borne down with a low and ache-aching head
Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy

[Verse 12]
Baby, baby, won't you forgive me please?
You're the only woman to give my poor, poor heart ease
