Worried Man Blues Lyrics - Ralph Stanley

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, laid me down to sleep 

I went across the river, laid me down to sleep 

I went across the river, laid me down to sleep 

When I woke up, I had shackles on my feet 

Don't you know 

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 asked that judge, what's gonna be my fine? 

I asked that judge, what's gonna be my fine? 

I asked that judge, what's gonna be my fine? 

Twenty one years on the Rocky Mountain line 

Oh, 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 

Well the train I ride, it's twenty one coaches long 

The train I ride is twenty one coaches long 

The train I ride is twenty one coaches long 

The woman I love she's on that train and gone 

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