ERIC BIBB, WORRIED MAN BLUES, Lyrics. 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 and I lay down to sleep I went across the river and I lay down to sleep When I woke up, put the shackles on my feet 29 links of chain around my leg 29 links of chain around my leg And on each link an initial of my name 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 asked the judge, what might be my fine I asked the judge, what might be my fine 21 years on the R.C. Mountain Line The train arrived, 16 coaches long The train arrived, 16 coaches long The girl I love is 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 I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long If anyone should ask you who composed this song If anyone should ask you who composed this song Tell 'em 'that`s I, and I sing it all day long 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
