Worried Man Blues Lyrics
Worried Man Blues - Woody Guthrie
I went across the river
I lay down to sleep
I went across the river
I lay down to sleep
When I woke up
Had shackles on my feet
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
Twenty-one links
Of chain around my leg
Twenty-one links
Of chain around my leg
And on each link
'S an initial of my name
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
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
Twenty-one years
On the Rocky Mountain line
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Yes it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Worried now but I won't be worried long
That train pulled out
Twenty-one coaches long
That train pulled out
Twenty-one coaches long
The woman I love
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
Worried now but I won't be worried long
Twenty-one years
Pay my awful crime
Twenty-one years
Pay my awful crime
Tweny-one years
And I still got ninety-nine
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Worried now but I won't be worried long
