You all have been wonderin', wonderin' why I sing the blues 
You all have been wonderin', wonderin' why I sing the blues

Ah you won't to or you do get married 
, to someone for the rest of your life

You get the affection of a servant, the kindness of a slave

I try to say something people, something just to pacify 
I try to say something people, something just to pacify 
I might not have lived right all of my life, but people please believe me I've tried
