Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

I want all you people to listen to my song.
I want all you people to listen to my song.
And remember these words I say after I'm dead and gone.

Worry will kill you quicker than anything you buy.
Worry will kill you quicker than anything you buy.
‘Cause when you lose the one you love you feel like you want to die.

People, it's hard to keep the one you love so true.
It's hard to keep the one you love so true.
Something is sure to happen to one, God will take one away from you.

It's no need of worryin' and always cryin'.
It's no need of worryin' and always cryin'.
What's the use of living true when you always catch hell for tryin'?

Just to think people, how love has caused me to wander and roam.
Has made me drink and gamble, and stay out all night long.
Sometimes I get so disgusted, I wish I had died when I was born.

People, please don't fall in love like me.
People, you don't realize what a fool you can be.
I give up this world for the one I love, yet she don't care for me.
