Oh Lordy, Lord, oh Lordy, Lord
It hurts me so bad, for us to part
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore

So many night, since you've been gone
I've been worried an' griev'in, my life alone
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more

So many day, since you went away
I had to worry, both night an' day
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more

(Spoken:
No boy, I ain't gonna worry my life no more, yeah yeah)

You on my mind, ev'ry place I go
How much I love you, nobody know
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life, anymore

So that's my story
This is all I got to say to you
Goodbye baby, an' I don't care what you do
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more
