Lyrics:
I went across the riverI lay down to sleepI went across the riverI lay down to sleepWhen I woke upHad shackles on my feetIt takes a worried manTo sing a worried songIt takes a worried manTo sing a worried songI'm worried nowBut I won't be worried longTwenty-one linksOf chain around my legTwenty-one linksOf chain around my legAnd on each link'S an initial of my nameI asked that judgeWhat's gonna be my fineI asked that judgeWhat's gonna be my fineTwenty-one yearsOn the Rocky Mountain lineThat train pulled outTwenty-one coaches longThat train pulled outTwenty-one coaches longAnd the woman I loveIs on that train and goneTwenty-one yearsPay my awful crimeTwenty-one yearsPay my awful crimeTweny-one yearsAnd I still got ninety-nine
