Lyrics
Worried Man
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.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried 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 across the river and I lay down to sleep
Went across the river and I lay down to sleep
Went across the river and I lay down to sleep
When I woke up, put the shackles on my feet
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
And on each link was the initial of my name
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
Twenty-one years on the r. M. mountain line
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The girl I love is on that train and gone
