When I woke | up I had | shackles | on my | feet! - It takes a worried man... |
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg, |
I had twenty-nine links of chain around my leg! |
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg; |
And on each link An initial of my name! - It takes a worried man... |
Judge, judge, judge, What's gonna be my fine, |
I Judge, judge, judge, What's gonna be my fine; |
Judge, judge, judge, What's gonna be my fine? |

The girl I love, she's on that train and gone. - It takes a worried man... |
I looked down that track as far as I could see, |
I looked down that track as far as I could see! |
I looked down that track as far as I could see; |
Little-bitty hand was waving back at me. - It takes a worried man... |
