Worried Man Blues

It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I went across the river and laid me down to sleep
I went across the river and laid me down to sleep
I went across the river and laid me down to sleep
When I woke up, I had shackles on my feet

Don't you know
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
I asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
I asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line

It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Well the train I ride it's twenty-one coaches long
The train I ride is twenty-one coaches long
The train I ride is twenty-one coaches long
The woman I love she's on that train and gone

It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
It takes a worried man to sing worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
