Lyrics
- I’m grieving, I’m peeving
For the man I love
All I had is gone away from me
He never even come to say goodbye
I cannot understand why he went away
Out of all the goodness I have been
And now he’s left me grieving after him
Chorus
I’ve got the weary blues
And don’t know what to do
Oh the weary blues makes me feel so blue
I can’t help but cry, sit and sigh
Law’d knows I will die if I keeps having,
Having these here weary blues
- I’m thinking just thinking what on earth to do
Maybe some day he’ll come back to me
And stop this poor, poor aching heart of mine
He’s goin’ to, he’s bound to miss all that’s been done
For him by this ever lovin’ gal
He’s goin’ to find out who’s his one best pal
