When a man gets trouble in his mind
He wanna sleep all the time
When a man gets trouble in mind
He wanna sleep all the time
He knows he can't sleep all the time
He's trouble won't worry mind
Won't worry his mind
I'm feelin' worried in mind
And I'm tryin-a keep from cryin'
I'm feelin' worried mind
And I'm tryin-a keep from cryin'
I am standin' into sunshine
To keep from weakin' down
Keep from weakin' down
I want somewhere to go
But I hate to go to town, yeah
I want somewhere to go
To satisfy my mind
I would go to town
But I hate to stand around
Hate to stand around
I wonder what's the matter With my right mind?
My mind keep me sleepin' all the time
I wonder what's the matter with my right mind?
My mind keep me sleepin' all the time
But when I had plenty money
My friend would come around, would come around
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 weakin' down.

Bukka White (born Booker T. Washington White; 1902-1977) was an American singer and guitarist considered one of the pillars of delta blues. Born in Mississippi, Bukka White began playing guitar at a young age, influenced by the traditional African American music of his region. Throughout his career, he recorded a vast discography of blues songs characterized by a raw and powerful sound, often accompanied by lyrics that addressed social issues such as poverty, injustice, and racism. Among his most famous songs are "Fixin' to Die", "Shake 'Em On Down" and "Parchman Farm Blues". Bukka White collaborated with other important blues artists of his time, such as Charley Patton and Son House. His music had a significant impact on the American musical landscape, influencing generations of blues and rock musicians.
