Worried Life Blues
by 
recording of October 1 1929, New York 
from , 
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 traveled 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
