C Takes a worried man to sing a worried song, F Takes a worried man to sing a worried song, C Takes a worried man to sing a worried song, G I'm worried now but I won't be worried long Am Went across the river, I laid down to sleep, E Am Went across the river, I laid down to sleep, Am Went across the river, I laid down to sleep, E Am when I awoke there were shackles on my feet Asked the judge, what might be my crime? and he told me that I was out of time 21 links of chain, wrapped around my leg, and on each link the initials of my name The train I ride is twenty one coaches long, and the women I love are on that train and gone If anyone should ask you, who composed this song, tell them I don't know, but I sing it all day long |
