Did you ever set thinking with a thousand things on your mind?
Did you ever set thinking with a thousand things on your mind?
Thinking about someone who has treated you nice and kind
 

Then you get an old letter and you begin to read
You get an old letter and you begin to read
Got the blues so bad, tell that man of mine I want to see
 

Don't you hear me, baby, knocking on your door?
Don't you hear me, baby, knocking on your door?
Have you got the nerve to drive me from your door?
 

Have you got the nerve to say you don't want me no more?
Have you got the nerve to say you don't want me no more?
The Good Book says you got to reap what you sow
 

Take me back, baby, try me one more time
Take me back, baby, try me one more time
That's the only way I can get these thinking blues off my mind
