 When a man gets trouble in his mind
 He wanna sleep all the time
 When a man gets trouble in mind
 He wanna sleep all the time
 He knows he can't sleep all the time
 He's trouble won't worry mind
 Won't worry his mind

 I'm feelin' worried in mind
 And I'm tryin-a keep from cryin'
 I'm feelin' worried mind
 And I'm tryin-a keep from cryin'
 I am standin' into sunshine
 To keep from weakin' down
 Keep from weakin' down

 I want somewhere to go
 But I hate to go to town, yeah
 I want somewhere to go
 To satisfy my mind
 I would go to town
 But I hate to stand around
 Hate to stand around

 I wonder what's the matter With my right mind?
 My mind keep me sleepin' all the time
 I wonder what's the matter with my right mind?
 My mind keep me sleepin' all the time
 But when I had plenty money
 My friend [bad word] around, [bad word] around

 If I had my right mind
 I would write my women a few lines
 If I had my right mind
 I would write my women a few lines
 I will do most anything
 To keep from weakin' down
 Keep from weakin' down.
