Osborne Brothers - Worried Man Blues lyrics

(A.P. Carter)

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 now I lay down to sleep

I went across the river now I lay down to sleep

I went across the river now I lay down to sleep

When I woke up I had shackles on my feet.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

Train that I ride is fourteen coaches long

Train that I ride is fourteen coaches long

Train that I ride is fourteen 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

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

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

--- Instrumental ---

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...
