Fred's Worried Life Blues

soundclip


by Mississippi Fred McDowell
recording of February 13 1964, at his house near Como, Mississippi

from You Gotta Move (Arhoolie 304), copyright notice

You made me weep, and you made me moan
When you call me to leave my, my happy home
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore

You told everybody, in your neighborhood,
what a dirty mistreater, didn't mean you no good
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore

When I had money, I had plenty friends
I ain't got no money, baby, honey even no friends
But someday, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore

If I had money, like Henry Ford
I'd have me a woman on, on every road
But bye bye, you ain't gonna worry my life anymore
