down in Memphis Tennessee they've devalued the currency but it don't mean a thing to got my banjo on my knee
but i'm worried about you honey i'm worried about you the things you do i tell you true i'm worried about you
the government's been reading my mail they got my sister in the county jail but i'm raising the money to go her bail i got seventeen dollars i will not fail
but i'm worried about you . . .
my front door's locked and i got no key and i'm so drunk i can barely see my own mother she's got no use for me and my wife's been giving me the third degree
but i'm worried about you . . .
now things look bad for me i'll admit but it's mostly just people talkin' shit am i scared? no not a bit i'll rely on my good looks and my wit
