Worried Man Blues

It takes a worried man to sing a word 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 down to the river I laid down to sleep,
I went down to the river I lay me down to sleep
I went down to the river lay me down to sleep,
when I woke up I had shackles on my feet.

I'm worried now but I won’t be worried long

I asked the judge what will be my time
I asked the judge lawd what will be my time
I asked the judge what will be my time
21 years on the Rocky Mountain Line

I'm worried now but I won’t be worried long

This train that I’m riding is 16 coaches long
The train that I’m riding on 16 coaches long
This train that I’m riding is 16 couches long
And the girl I love is on the train and gone
