I'm worried and I'm bothered, troubled in my mind And the reason I ain't drinking, mama, there ain't no liquor 'round 'Cause I wonder what's the matter. Yes, I wonder what's the matter I wonder what's the matter. You don't treat me good no more The days are so lonesome. The nights are so long I began to miss the way I used to hold you in my arms Yes, 'Cause I wonder what's the matter. Yes, I wonder what's the matter I wonder what's the matter. You don't treat me good no more You got me in your clutches, and that I must confess I would tell you more, mama, but everybody knows the rest So I wonder what's the matter. Yes, I wonder what's the matter I wonder what's the matter. You don't treat me good no more 'Cause I wonder what's the matter. Yes, I wonder what's the matter I wonder what's the matter. You don't treat me good no more You used to couldn't stand to see me out of sight But now you stay away, mama, from your daddy day and night And I wonder what's the matter. Yes, I wonder what's the matter I wonder what's the matter. You don't treat me good no more
