Worried Man Blues

 
   G  
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
   C                                     G
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
            D                          G
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long 


I went across the river and I laid down to sleep X3
When I woke up, there were shackles on my feet 

Twenty one links of chain around my leg X3
And on each link, the initials of my name 

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine X3
Twenty one years on the Rocky Mountain Line 

If anyone should ask you who composed this song X3
Say it was me and I sing it all day long


(Kingston Trio version)

Got myself a Cadillac, thirty dollars down. 
Got myself a brand new house five miles out of town.
Got myself a gal named Sue, treats me really fine. 
Yes, she's my baby and I love her all the time.

(Chorus)

I've been away on a business trip, travelin' all around. 
I've got a gal and her name is Sue, prettiest gal in town.
She sets my mind to worryin' every time I'm gone. 
I'll be home tonight so I won't be worried long!

(Chorus)

Well, Bobby's in the living room, holding hands with Sue. 
Nickie's at that big front door, 'bout to come on through.
Well, I'm here in the closet. Oh, Lord, what shall I do? 
We're worried now but we won't be worried long.

(Chorus)
