Lyrics Worried Man Blues - Bobby Bare

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, I laid me down to sleep
I went across the river, I laid me down to sleep
I went across the river, I 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 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 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?"
21 years on the Rocky Mountain line

Oh, 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, the train I ride, it's 21 coaches long
The train I ride is 21 coaches long
The train I ride is 21 coaches long
The woman I love, she's on that train and gone

Oh, 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...
