Worried Man Blues Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

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 and I laid down to sleep 

I went across the river and I laid down to sleep 

I went across the river and I laid down to sleep 

When I woke up, there were shackles on my feet 

Twenty one links of chain around my leg 

Twenty one links of chain around my leg 

Twenty one links of chain around my leg 

And on each link, the initials of my name 

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine 

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine 

I asked the judge what's gonna be my fine 

Twenty one years on the Rocky Mountain Line
