Work rating: Low


W`EN you full o` worry `Bout yo` wo`k an` sich, W`en you kind o` bothered Case you can`t get rich, An` yo` neighboh p`ospah Past his jest desu`ts, An` de sneer of comerds Stuhes yo` heaht an` hu`ts, Des don` pet yo` worries, Lay `em on de she`f, Tek a little trouble Brothah, wid yo`se`f. Ef a frien` comes mou`nin` `Bout his awful case, You know you don` grieve him Wid a gloomy face, But you wrassle wid him, Try to tek him in; Dough hit cracks yo` features, Law, you smile lak sin, Ain`t you good ez he is? Don` you pine to def; Tek a little trouble Brothah, wid yo`se`f. Ef de chillun pestahs, An` de baby`s bad, Ef yo` wife gits narvous, An` you`re gettin` mad, Des you grab yo` boot-strops, Hol` yo` body down, Stop a-tinkin` cuss-w`rds, Chase away de frown, Knock de haid o` worry, Twell dey ain` none lef`; Tek a little trouble, Brothah, wid yo`se`f.
