Lyrics:

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Let me tell you that it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now, I'm worried now, I'm worried now, I'm worried now now, baby
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

Well I went across to river to lay me down to sleep
Let tell you that I went across to river to lay me down to sleep
I went across to river baby to lay me down to sleep
When I woke up, I woke up, I woke up, I woke up, I woke up, baby
And there were shackles around my feet

Let me tell you, baby

It takes a worried man to sing a little 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 won't be worried long
Let me tell you something, baby
I won't be worried long
