The Skiffle Sessions - Live In Belfast Lyrics - 1980
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!
(chorus)
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!
(instrumental)
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
