I WONDER WHY I WORRY OVER YOU
(Ernest Tubb / Dave Denny / Steve Nelson)

Ernest Tubb - 1957


Dear you’re not worth the breath it takes to mention your name
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

The way you kick my love around it’s such a crying shame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

Friends with good intentions all tell me to get smart
And runaway this very day before you break my heart
You’ll never change your wicked ways you’ll always be the same
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

Instrumentals

Even when you know your wrong I still get the blame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

If there’s an art for breaking hearts you could start a hall of Fame
I Wonder Why I worry Over You

If I walked out tomorrow it wouldn’t bother you
You’ve got another waitin’ now to see just what I do
And you’re not worth the breath it takes to mention your name
I Wonder Why I worry Over You
