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



This train I ride is twenty-one coaches long

Yeah 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...



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 gonna me down to sleep

I woke up and I had shackles on my feet

It takes a worried man...

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

It takes a worried man...
