Titel: WORRIED MAN BLUES
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song (3x)
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep (3x)
and I woke up with shackles on my feet.
Twenty nine links of chain around my leg, (3x)
and on each link the initial of my name.
I asked the judge what might be my fine. (3x)
Twenty one years on the R.C. Mountain Line.
Twenty one years to pay my awful crime, (3x)
Twenty one years - but I got ninety nine.
The train arrived sixteen coaches long, (3x)
The girl I love is on that train and gone.
I looked down the track as far as I could see, (3x)
little bitty hand was waving after me.
If anyone should ask you who composed this song (3x)
tell them it was I and I sing it all day long.
