Johnny Cash - Worried Man lyrics

It takes a worried man to sing worried song It takes a worried man to sing worried song I'm worried now but I won't be worried long I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep When I woke up, had shackles on my feet Twenty nine links of chain around my leg Twenty nine links of chain around my leg And on each link, the initial of my name It takes a worried man to sing worried song It takes a worried man to sing worried song I'm worried now but I won't be worried long I asked that judge, tell me, what might be my fine I asked that judge, tell me, what might be my fine Twenty one years on the R C Mountain line The train arrived, sixteen coaches long The train arrived, sixteen coaches long The girl I love is on that train and gone It takes a worried man to sing worried song It takes a worried man to sing worried song I'm worried now but I won't be worried long If anyone asks you who composed this song If anyone asks you who composed this song Tell 'em t'was I, and I sing it all day long It takes a worried man to sing worried song It takes a worried man to sing worried song I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
