[00:31.47]look like I've got the mumps
[00:35.97]I can't keep from worryin'

[00:44.85]I had a nightmare last night
[00:49.78]when I laid down
[00:54.03]When I woke up this mornin'
[00:59.53]my sweet man couldn't be found
[01:02.83]I'm goin' down to the river
[01:07.35]into it I'm goin' to jump
[01:12.07]Can't keep from worryin'
[01:17.67]'cause I'm down in the dumps
