Mel Tillis - Worried Man Blues

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
Well this train I ride is twenty one coaches long
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 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 to lay me down to sleep
I went across the river to lay me down to sleep
I went across the river to lay me down to sleep
When I woke up there were shackles on my feet
Well it takes a worried man...

Well around my feet were twenty links of chains
Around my feet were twenty links of chains
