Flatt And Scruggs - Worried Man Blues Lyrics

I went across the river I lay down to sleep I went across the river I lay down to sleep

When I woke up had shackles on my feet

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

[ fiddle ]

Twenty one links of chain around my leg twenty one links of chain around my leg

And on each link is initial of a man

It takes a worried man...

[ banjo ]

If anyone should ask you who could sing this song

If anyone should ask you who could sing this song

Just say that I'll sing it all day long

It takes a worried man...
