It Atakes a worried man to sing a worried song
It Dtakes a worried man to Asing a worried song
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along.
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
I Dwent across the river and AI lay down to sleep
When I woke Eup there were E7shackles on my Afeet.
Twenty nine links of chain around my feet
DTwenty nine links of Achain around my feet
And on each Elink an iE7nitial of my Aname.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It Dtakes a worried man to Asing a worried song
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along.
I asked the judge 'what will be my time?'
DI asked the judge 'Awhat will be my time?'
Twenty one Eyears on the E7R.C. Mountain ALine.
Train came around - sixteen coaches long
The Dtrain came around - Asixteen coaches long
The girl I Elove is E7on that train and Agone.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It Dtakes a worried man to Asing a worried song
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along.
Should anyone ask you 'who composed this song?'
Should Danyone ask you 'Awho composed this song?'
Say it was EI and I E7sing it all day Along.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It Dtakes a worried man to Asing a worried song
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along,
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along,
I'm worried Enow but I E7won't be worried Along.E  A
