I'm worried, won't be worried long
Well, I'm worried, baby, won't be worried long
Well, I'm worried, won't be worried long

She's a little bit, hold her in my arms
She's a little bitty woman, hold her in my arms
She's a brownskin baby, chocolate to the bone

See, I wish to, trouble train would run
Said, I wish to God some trouble train would run
Well, I take my troubles right where I got 'em from

You can always, baby, lurking around
You can always tell, sweet girl's lurking around
She's always slippin' out on the edge of town

Says I wants to, to, Katy blow
Now, I hate to hear lonesome Katy blow
Well, she blowed this mornin' like she wasn't gonna blow no more

Well, bring me your, bring it soakin' wet
Well now, bring me your towel, bring it soakin' wet
Well, about Corinna, I ain't seen her yet

Well, down, I didn't have no name
Well, I was down, I didn't have a dime
Well, I's settin' down thinkin' 'bout the woman all the time
