Sleepy Man Blues
White, Booker T. Washington
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
