| Lyrics: | Traditional)
Oh it takes a worried man, sing a worried song
Takes a worried man, come sing
a little worried song
Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now,
won't be worried long
I went down to the riverside and I laid me down to sleep
Went
down to the riverside, laid me down to sleep, Lord
A-well I went down to the riverside, laid me
down to sleep
When I woke up there were shackles on both-a my feet
Hit
it!
(Chorus)
It takes a worried man, to sing a worried song
It takes a worried
man (come) to sing a worried song
Yeah, it takes a worried man, yeah, to sing a worried
song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
Worry for
me!
(Instrumental)
I said, Judge (judge) judge, what's a-gonna be my
fine?
I said, Judge (judge) judge (judge) tell me what's gonna be my fine?
I said, Judge
(judge) judge (judge) tell me what's gonna be my fine?
He said, Twenty-one years (oh) on that
old Rock Island Line
Oh well it takes a worried man, to sing a worried song
Takes a
worried man, to sing a worried song
Yeah, it takes a worried man, to sing a worried
song
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long
Sing it one more time!
It
takes a worried man, to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man, to sing a worried song, my
Lord
It takes a worried man, to sing a worried song
I'm worried now, but I won't be
worried long
