from
Today! (Vanguard 79219)
And I'm so glad, and I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I don't know what to do, don't know what to do, I don't know what to do
I'm tired of weepin', tired of moanin', tired of groanin' for you
And I'm so glad, I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I'm tired of weepin', tired of moanin', tired of groanin' for you
And I'm so glad, and I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I'm so tired of moanin', tired of groanin', tired of longin' for you
I'm so glad, and I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I don't know what to do, know what to do, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, and I am tired, I am tired...
And I'm so glad, I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I don't know what to do, know what to do, I don't know what to do
I'm tired of weepin', tired of moanin', tired of groanin' for you
And I'm so glad, and I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I'm so tired, and I am tired, I am tired, I'm tired
I'm tired of weepin', tired of moanin', tired of groanin' for you
I'm so glad, and I am glad, I am glad, I'm glad
I don't know what to do, know what to do, don't know what to do

Note 1: the seemingly illogical juxtaposition of "I'm so glad" and "I don't' know what to do" was likely a figure of black speech or song, inasmuch as Tarter and Gay's "Brownie Blues" (1928) contains the phrase, "So glad I'm brownskin, I don't know what to do".
