Worried Man Blues Lyrics

(A.P. Carter)

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

Well, 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
The one I love she's on that train and gone.

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

I went across the river to lay me down to sleep
I went across the river to lay me down to sleep
I went across the river to lay me down to sleep
When I woke up there were shackles on my feet.

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

Well, around my feet were twenty links of chains
Around my feet were twenty links of chains
Around my feet were twenty links of chains
On each link was written my name.

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

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine
I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine
I said old judge what's gonna be my fine
Twenty one days on the Rocky Island Line.

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

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long...
