A-when you got a headache

A-headache powder soothe the pain

When you try to rest

Lord, you feel alright again

When you got a backache

A little rubbin' will see you through

But when you got a heartache

There ain't nothin' you can do

A man can't break a stone

So he tries another lick

An iceman can't cut his ice, no Lord

So he buys another pick

Electric lights go out

But a candle light will see you through

But when you got a heartache

There ain't nothing you can do

There ain't nothing you can do

I said there ain't nothing you can do

When you got a heartache

There ain't nothing you can do

A-when you a meet a friend

You smile because you glad

When a friend deceive you

It makes you feel so bad

When you lose your love one

It makes you feel so blue

And then you've got a heartache

And there ain't nothing you can do

Well, there ain't nothing you can do

I said, there ain't nothing you can do

Lordy!

Ev'ry time I think about it

I said, ev'rytime I get a li'l lonely, sometime 

There ain't nothin' you can do, baby, no Lord

FADES-

There ain't nothin' you can do

Sometimes I get so lonely
