I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!
Work Me, Lord
Work me Lord, work me Lord.
Please donât you leave me,
I feel so useless down here
With no one to love
Though Iâve looked everywhere
And I canât find me anybody to love,
To feel my care.
So ah work me Lord, whoa use me Lord,
Donât you know how hard it is
Trying to live all alone.
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
But something is driving me, oh, back,
Honey, somethingâs trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life.
So donât you forget me down here, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Ah, ah, donât you forget me, Lord.
Well I donât think Iâm any very special
Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I donât think youâre gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that Iâm never satisfied. Whoa.
Whoa, oh, oh, work me Lord, hmm, use me Lord,
Please, honey, donât you leave me,
I feel so useless down here.
I canât find me anybody to love me
And Iâve looked around,
Iâve looked everywhere, everywhere
And I canât find me anyone to love,
To feel my care.
So honey donât you go and leave me, Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Honey, donât you go off and leave me, Lord.
Canât I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when youâre all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And somethingâs trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.
Oh please, please, oh donât you go and
Forget me down here, donât forget me, Lord.
I think that maybe you can ease me,
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
Oh please, please, donât you go and leave me Lord,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
Hmm please, donât you leave me, Lord.
