It Takes a Worried Man Lyrics

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
