Worried Man Blues

trad.

G G7
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
C G
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song!
G G7
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
Am D7 D G
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
G G7
I went across the river, and I laid down to sleep,
C G
I went across the river, and I laid down to sleep!
G G7
I went across the river, and I laid down to sleep;
Am D7 D G
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? 
"Twenty-one years On the Rocky Mountain line". - It takes a worried man... 
 
The train pulled in, sixteen coaches long, 
The train pulled in, sixteen coaches long! 
The train pulled in, sixteen coaches long; 
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... 
 
If anyone should ask you who made up this song, 
If anyone should ask you who made up this song! 
If anyone should ask you who made up this song: 
Tell him t'was I, and I sing it all day long. - It takes a worried man...
