Im so Glad Lyrics

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 do1
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

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 do1
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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

One of the legends of Delta Blues, its hard to believe people still think Eric Clapton wrote this song ! Skip James was a master guitarist and this some of his best playing. Written in 1930's a time of economic depression and hardship for blacks in the Southern USA, he keeps chanting the refrain I'm So Glad seems ironic, his life was anything but easy. The only way to cope with having the blues is to play, sing and blow the blues away. A classic of this style.

It seems to me that he has a split personality. On one hand he's glad, glad, glad and glad, and on the other, he's tired, tired, tired, tired. Although I suppose he could easily be all of that at once without having a split personality, it's much more interesting to think he has a split personality.

@epiwoosh He has got the Blues

@HarryIrene I was just being silly, but to be honest I don't think it's so simple as he's just got the blues. He definitely once had the blues, but he got tired of having the blues, so he stopped and feels better. But now he seems confused as to how he really feels.
