Worried Man Blues

Chorus:
 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 and i laid down to sleep
 i went across the river and i laid down to sleep
 i went across the river and i laid down to sleep
 when i woke up, i had shackles on my feet
 Twenty-one links of chain around my leg
 twenty-one links of chain around my leg
 twenty-one links of chain around my leg
 and on each link, is initial of my name
 Chorus
 I asked that judge, what's gonna be my fine
 i asked the judge, tell me, what's gonna be my fine
 i asked the judge, tell me, what's gonna be my fine
 twenty one years on the rocky mountain line
 Twenty-one years to pay my awful crime
 twenty-one years to pay my awful crime
 twenty-one years to pay my awful crime
 twenty-one years and i still got ninety-nine
 Chorus
 If anybody ask you, "well who made up this song?"
 if anybody ask you, "well who made up this song?"
 if anybody ask you, "well who made up this song?"
 tell 'em t'was me and i done been here and gone
 Chorus
