[Verse 1]
You been worrying, worry
You been worrying poor Lightnin's mind
You been worrying, worry
You been worrying poor Lightnin’s mind
Well, it really not what worries
You won't come to see me no time

[Verse 2]
Mmm
Tell me what is wrong with you
If I ever done you wrong, baby
Tell me what you want poor Lightnin' to do
Well, I’ll tell you the right thing
I'll do anything you tell me to

[Verse 3]
Mmm, oh Lord
Something keep on worrying me
Mmm
Something keep on worrying me
I been thinkin' 'bout my little baby
'Cause my own face I just can't see

[Verse 4]
You know it's just like a long distance telephone call
When you came here again
It's just like a long distance telephone call
Lord have mercy, when you came here again
That the reason I keep on worrying
Ooh Lord, about my little friend
