Bukka White Sleepy Man Blues Lyrics

Sleepy Man Blues Lyrics

When a man gets trouble in mind, he wanna sleep all the time

When a man
gets trouble in mind, he wanna sleep all the time

He doesn't can sleep
all the time, the trouble won't worry his mind

Won't worry his mind



I'm feelin' worried in mind, and I'm tryin' to keep from cryin'

I'm feelin' worried in mind, and I'm tryin' to keep from cryin'

I am
standin' in the sunshine, to keep from weakin' down

Keep from weakin'
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 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
