I don't recall seeing a post on this before, so here goes.
I just came across a web site with a wealth of lyrics of blues songs.
This site is a horror in terms design and navigability, but has a wealth of lyrics. Just scroll to the bottom of the home page and there are some links there to get you to the lyrics. A disclaimer says these are only for personal study purposes yada, yada.
I came across this site while searching for lyrics to some 8-bar classics, Worried Life Blues, Trouble in Mind, etc., so that I can practice sing/play. I hope others will find it useful as well. There are thousands of song lyrics there.

You may find this useful too. It says it provides tabs but they are tabs for the vocal rather than the harp but it does also provide lyrics.

Speaking of Trouble in Mind... When I heard Big Walter Horton's version, mostly way up on the upper register of an A harp - so suhweet - I was compelled to learn it. Got the music pretty well down and went looking for lyrics. I simply googled it and found some. Seems, though, there are several versions either with more or less words or rearranged phrases. An old song like that - I suppose it's not unusual for it to morph a little through the years.
