The days are long, I'm a-weary I ain't sayin' a word The days are long, I'm a-weary I ain't sayin' a word You left me blue as night Blues all round my head (I sure miss you, honey) I thought my day was commin' man, I'm feelin' so bad I thought my day was commin' man, I'm feelin' so bad But things have changed somehow I wish that I was dead (can't live no how) (Yodel) It seems that old man worry just ain't treatin' me fair It seems that old man worry just ain't treatin' me fair
Can't even sleep at night The blues is everywhere (gee, I'm lonesome) The world can keep on turnin' sun can stay in the sky The world can keep right on a-turnin' sun can stay in the sky Don't mean a thing to me I'll worry till I die (I can see it commin') Now if perchance your pathway leads you down to the end Now if perchance your pathway leads you on down to the end (Well listen, honey) You'll find a worried man Awaitin' your return (Yodel)
