Chorus
Got those doggone achin’ hearted blues, ’bout my baby
Want someone to tell my worried news
I’ve lost the bestest man on earth, I’m sad and weary now
To me my lovin’ man is worth, his weight in gold, I vow
If I could get him back I’d be so good, to my daddy
Treat him right just like a good pal should, indeed I would
My conscience is whippin’ me
I’m down-hearted as can be
(Left me daddy, that ain’t all
You’re the cause of my downfall)
I’ve learned a lesson, I’m confessin’
I’ve got those achin’ hearted blues
