Classic Poem

When a man gets troubled in mind
he want to sleep—all the time
When a man gets troubled in mind
he want to sleep all the time
He knows if he can sleep all the time
his trouble won't worry his mind
won't,
worry his mind

I'm feeling worried in mind
and I'm trying to keep from crying
I'm feeling worried in mind
and I'm trying to keep from crying
I am standing into the sunshine
to keep from weakin' down
Keep
from weak-
in' down

I want somewhere to go
but I hate to go to town
I want somewhere to go
to satisfy my mind
I would go to town
but I hate to stand around
Hate
to stand
a-round

I wonder what's the matter with my right mind
my mind keep me sleeping all the time
I wonder what's the matter with my right mind
my mind keep me sleeping all the time
But when I had plenty money
my friends would come around
Would
come
a-round

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 weak-
in' down
