Worried Man Blues

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 now I lay down to sleep
I went across the river now I lay down to sleep
I went across the river now I lay down to sleep
When I woke up I had shackles on my feet

It takes a worried man...
[ mandolin ]
Train that I ride is fourteen coaches long
Train that I ride is fourteen coaches long
Train that I ride is fourteen coaches long
The girl I love is on that train and gone
It takes a worried man...
[ banjo ]
It takes a worried man...
