Bessie Smith Worried Life Blues Lyrics

Worried Life Blues Lyrics

I lived a life but nothing I've gained

Each day I'm full of sorrow and
pain

No one seems enough for poor me

To give me a word of
sympathy

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will the end be

Oh me, oh
my

Wonder what will become of poor me



No father to guide, no
mother to care

Must bear my troubles all alone

Not even a brother to
help me share

This burden I must bear alone

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will the end be

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will become
of poor me



I'm sittin' and thinkin' of the days gone by

They
fills my heart with pain

I'm too weak to stand and too strong to lie

But I'm forgettin' it all in vain

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will
the end be

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will become of poor me



I've travelled and wandered almost everywhere

To get a little
joy from life

Still I've gained but worries and despair

Still
struggling in this world of strife

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will
the end be

Oh me, oh my

Wonder what will become of poor me
