Whoa, Lordy, Lord
Oh Lordy, Lord
It hurts me so bad
For us to part
But someday, baby
I ain't gonna worry my life any more
So many nights
Since you been gone
I been worried' an grievin'
My life alone
But someday, baby
I ain't gonna worry my life any more
So many days
Since you went away

Both night an day
But someday, baby
I ain't gonna worry my life any more

You on my mind
Ev'ry place I go
How much I love you

Goodbye, baby
An I don't care what you do
But someday, baby
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
