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
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
Well I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
When I woke up, I had the shackles and my feet
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
I?ve twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
And on each link is the initial of my name
Because 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 asked the judge, what might be my fine
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
I asked the judge, well what might be my fine
Twenty-one years on that Rocky Mountain Line
The train that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The train that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The girl I love is on that train and gone
Because 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
