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 When I woke up there were shackles on my feet. Twenty nine links of chain around my feet Twenty nine links of chain around my feet And on each link an initial of my name. 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 will be my time?' I asked the judge 'what will be my time?' Twenty one years on the R.C. Mountain Line. Train came around - sixteen coaches long The train came around - sixteen coaches long The girl I love is on that train and gone. 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. Should anyone ask you 'who composed this song?' Should anyone ask you 'who composed this song?' Say it was I and I sing it all day long. 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'm worried now but I won't be worried long, I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
