Bessie Smith - Worried Life Blues Lyrics
I lived a life but nothing I've gainedEach day I'm full of sorrow and painNo one seems enough for poor meTo give me a word of sympathyOh me, oh my, wonder what will the end beOh me, oh my, wonder what will become of poor meNo father to guide, no mother to careMust bear my troubles all aloneNot even a brother to help me shareThis burden I must bear aloneOh me, oh my, wonder what will the end beOh me, oh my, wonder what will become of poor meI'm sittin' and thinkin' of the days gone byThey fills my heart with painI'm too weak to stand and too strong to lieBut I'm forgettin' it all in vainOh me, oh my, wonder what will the end beOh me, oh my, wonder what will become of poor meI've traveled and wandered almost everywhereTo get a little joy from lifeStill I've gained but worries and despairStill struggling in this world of strifeOh me, oh my, wonder what will the end beOh me, oh my, wonder what will become of poor me
