From the recording A History of Blues - Discs 1 - 4
Composed in 1990. Part of the 820 Sessions. A little swing tune about my girlfriend ( I mean my wife). She left me once and went back to Texas to visit her family. I was wondering if she ever might return.
Lyrics
I’m worried, worried, my baby’s gone away
I’m worried, worried, my baby’s gone away
She’s gone back to Texas
Lord, I hope she be back some day
I took her from her family
when she was just a little girl
I took her from her family
when she was just a little 19-year-old girl
I didn’t always treat her right
there’s worse men out there I’m sure
I’m worried ’bout my baby
(worried ’bout my baby)
I’m worried ’bout my baby
(worried ’bout my baby)
Worried ’bout my baby
I hope she be back some day
I’m cryin’, cryin’
baby please come home
I’m cryin’, cryin’
baby please come home
Don’t stay down in Texas and leave me all alone
I’m worried ’bout my baby
(worried ’bout my baby)
I’m worried ’bout my baby
(worried ’bout my baby)
Worried ’bout my baby
I hope she be back some day
