Lyrics
1.Just a-wearyin’ for you
All the time a-feelin’ blue
Wishin’ for you , wond’rin’ when
You’ll be comin’ home again
Restless, don’t know what to do
Just a-wearyin’ for you
- Mornin’ comes, the birds awake
Used to sing so for your sake
But there’s sadness in the notes
That come trillin’ from their throats
Seem to feel your absence, too
Just a-wearyin’ for you - Evenin’ comes, I miss you more
When the dark gloom’s round the door
Seems just like you orter be
There to open it for me
Latch goes tinklin’, thrills me through
Sets me wearyin’ for you
