It [A]takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
it [D]takes a worried man to [A]sing a worried song,
I'm worried [E]now, but I won't be worried [A]long.
I [A]went across the river, I laid down to sleep,
I [D]went across the river, [A]I laid down to sleep,
when I woke [E]up, were the shackles on my [A]feet.
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg,
twenty-nine links of chain around my leg,
and on each link, the initial of my name. + CHORUS
I asked the judge what might be my fine,
I asked the judge what might be my fine,
twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line.
The train arrived, sixteen coaches long,
The train arrived, sixteen coaches long,
the girl I love is on that train and gone. + CHORUS
If anyone asks you who composed this song,
if anyone asks you who composed this song,
tell him ‘twas I and I sing it all day long. + CHORUS
