Bobby Bare

(A.P. Carter)
It takes a worried man to sing a 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 went across the river laid me down to sleep
I went across the river laid me down to sleep
I went across the river laid me down to sleep.
When I woke up I had shackles on my feet
Don't you know it takes a worried man to sing a 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 asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
I asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
I asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
Twenty one years on the Rocky Mountain Line.
Oh, it takes a worried man to sing a 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.
Well, the train I ride it's twenty one coaches long
The train I ride is twenty one coaches long
The train I ride is twenty one coaches long
The woman I love she's on that train and gone.
Oh it takes a worried man to sing a 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'm worried now but I won't be worried long...
