Well, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Well, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now
But I won't be worried long
Well, I went down to the river
I lay down to sleep
I went down to the river
To lay me down to sleep
Well, I went down to the river
I lay down to sleep
When I woke up
There were shackles on my feet
So it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Well, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Well, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now
But I won't be worried long
This train I ride
Is twenty one coaches long
This train I ride
Is twenty one coaches long
This train I ride
Is twenty one coaches long
That woman I love
She's on that train and gone
That's why it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Well, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now
But child I won't be worried long
Oh yes it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Well, neighbor, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now
But I won't be worried long
