Worried man, worried man.
I'm a very worried man.
Hungry babies don't understand,
that Papa is a worried man.
Papa is a worried man.
verse 1
The place I go to draw my pay,
Slammed the door on me today.
Told me just to stay away,
And don't come back again.
verse 2
I came home to break the news,
my woman saw that I had the blues,
she said "The babies need new shoes"
now I'm a worried man
Worried man, worried man.
I'm a very worried man.
Hungry babies don't understand,
that Papa is a worried man.
Papa is a worried man.
verse 3
There is no way that I can see,
That I can feed my family,
An' I don't own no land.
verse 4
I told my Mama: "Don't you cry.
"I'll get a job before the day go by."
I don't know where, and that is why,
that I'm a worried man.
Worried man, worried man.
I'm a very worried man.
Hungry babies don't understand,
that Papa is a worried man.
Papa is a worried man.
