Oh Lordy, Lord, oh Lordy, Lord 
It hurts me so bad, for us to part 
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore 
So many night, since you've been gone 
I've been worried an' griev'in, my life alone 
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more 
So many day, since you went away 
I had to worry, both night an' day 
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more 
(Spoken: 
No boy, I ain't gonna worry my life no more, yeah yeah) 
You on my mind, ev'ry place I go 
How much I love you, nobody know 
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life, anymore 
So that's my story 
This is all I got to say to you 
Goodbye baby, an' I don't care what you do 
But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more
