It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
E A
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long.
[Verse]
A
I went across the river, I laid down to sleep,
D A
I went across the river, I laid down to sleep,
E A
When I woke up, were the shackles on my feet.
A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg,
D A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg,
E A
And on each link, the initial of my name.
[Chorus]

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

I asked the judge what might be my fine,
D A
I asked the judge what might be my fine,
E A
Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line.
A
The train arrived, sixteen coaches long,
D A
The train arrived, sixteen coaches long,
E A
The girl I love is on that train and gone.
[Chorus]
A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
E A
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long.

A
If anyone asks you who composed this song,
D A
If anyone asks you who composed this song,
E A
Tell him ?twas I and I sing it all day long.
[Chorus]
A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
E A
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long.
