(Verse 1)
This old house I'm livin' in, Is needing repair
The windows, and the shutters, are lettin'
in, the cold, cold, air.
I say to myself, I'm gonna fix it, when I, can find, the time,
But all, I'm getting lately, is leavin', on my mind.

(Chorus).......
Lately, all, I got is leavin' on mind,
Seems, that all, I'm thinkin', 'bout, most of the time.
But, soon, and very soon, I'll leave all my troubles far behind;
Lately, I've got leavin', leavin' on my mind.

(Verse 2)
Somebody told me the other day, that, I ought to be out lookin',
for a better place, to live,
But, you know, I just can't seem, to get excited,
'bout this old world, and all that it can give.
I couldn't care, less if I could buy it all, with a solitary dime,
For what good would a world do me, with leavin' on my mind.

(Chorus)........
