Worried Man

Woody Guthrie

capo 2

It Gtakes a worried man to sing a worried song
It Ctakes a worried man to sing a worried Gsong
I'm worried Dnow, but I won't be worried Glong

I Gwent across the river and I lay down to sleep
I Cwent across the river and I lay down to Gsleep
When I woke Dup, I had the shackles and my Gfeet

GTwenty-nine links of chain around my leg
CTwenty-nine links of chain around my Gleg
And on each Dlink is the initial of my Gname

chorus

I Gasked the judge, what might be my fine
I Casked the judge, what might be my Gfine
Twenty-one Dyears on that Rocky Mountain GLine

The Gtrain that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
The Ctrain that I ride, is sixteen coaches Glong
The girl I Dlove is on that train and Ggone

chorus
