Delbert McClinton is a blues musician born 4 November 1940, in Lubbock, Texas. He honed his craft working in a bar band, The Straitjackets, backing visiting blues giants such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Jimmy Reed. He made his first recordings as a member of the Ron-Dels and was noted for his distinctive harmonica work on Bruce Channel's 1962 hit "Hey Baby". On a tour of the UK with Channel, McClinton met a young John Lennon and advised him on his harmonica technique, resulting in the sound heard on the Beatles hit "Love Me Do". Relocating to Los Angeles in the early 1970s, McClinton emerged in a partnership with fellow Texan Glen Clark, performing a combination of country and soul music.

I Used To Worry Lyrics

Delbert McClinton

Well, I used to worry where all my money had gone
'Til I wound up with nothing to spend my money on
I used to guard my time like diamonds and pearls
'Til I wound up with nothing but all the time in the world

Refrain:
Just to think I used to worry about things like that
I used to worry 'bout rich and skinny 'til I wound up poor and fat
Now days I kind of worry about things like that

I used to worry about making the grade
Hanging out with the right people and playing their games
I'd throw a party; they'd be wall to wall

(refrain)

Just to think I
Just to think I used to worry
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

Just to think I used to worry about things like that
I used to worry 'bout rich and skinny 'til I wound up poor and fat
Some times I kind of wonder where my mind's been at
Just to think I used to worry about things like that

Just to think I used to worry about things like that
Just to think I used to worry about things like that
