Mel Tillis - Worried Man Blues lyrics

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Well this train I ride is twenty one coaches long

This train I ride is twenty one coaches long

This train I ride is twenty one coaches long

The one I love she's 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

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 to lay me down to sleep

I went across the river to lay me down to sleep

I went across the river to lay me down to sleep

When I woke up there were shackles on my feet

Well it takes a worried man...

Well around my feet were twenty links of chains

Around my feet were twenty links of chains

Around my feet were twenty links of chains on each link was written my name

Well it takes a worried man...

[ guitar ]

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine

I said old judge what's gonna be my fine twenty one days on the Rocky Island Line

Well it takes a worried man...

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
