Lyrics
Worried Man Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 is initial of a man
It takes a worried man...
If anyone should ask you who could sing this song
If anyone should ask you who could sing this song
Just say that I'll sing it all day long
It takes a worried man...
