My baby had left me, my back was against the wall
I was fed up with my life and I felt like endin' it all
I was fed up with the blues
I was fed up with everything, oh yes I was
I was fed up with the little girl who was driving old me insane

But listen, let me tell you what I did
I stopped and thought it over
And through my tears I could see
What a fool I'd be to love her when I knew she don't want me
I was fed up with the blues
I was fed up with everything, yes I was
I was fed up with thе little girl who was driving old me insane

Alright Rеd, continue
Play it like you mean it

So I went down to the river where the trees grow strong and tall
With tears in my eye I decided to end it all
'Cause I was fed up with the blues
I was fed up with everything, oh yes I was
I was fed up with this woman, she was driving old me insane

Look here
I decided within myself that I would find me a new love
Somebody to keep my mind at ease
I don't wanna worry no more
