Van Morrison, Lonnie Donegan , Chris Barber - It Takes a Worried Man lyrics

Oh it takes a worried man
Sing a worried song takes a worried man
Come sing a little worried song
Well it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now, won't be worried long

I went down to the riverside and
I laid me down to sleep
Went down to the riverside, laid
Me down to sleep, lord
A-well I went down to the riverside
Laid me down to sleep
When I woke up there were
Shackles on both-a my feet hit it!
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
(come) to sing a worried song
Yeah, it takes a worried man, yeah
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
Worry for me!

I said, "Judge
(judge) judge, what's a-gonna be my fine?"
I said, "Judge
(judge) judge (judge) tell me what's
Gonna be my fine? I said, "Judge
(judge) judge (judge) tell me what's
Gonna be my fine? He said, "Twenty-one years
(oh) on that old Rock Island Line

Oh well it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
Takes a worried man, to sing a worried song
Yeah, it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long
Sing it one more time!

It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man, to
Sing a worried song, my Lord
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long
