The Kingston Trio - Worried Man lyrics



A Worried Man

Artists: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 20 in 1959)
Words and Music by Donald D. Guard and Tom Glazer; adapted from traditional
American folk song "Worried Man Blues"

(banjo intro)

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

Got myself a Cadillac thirty dollars down
Got myself a brand new house five miles out of town
Got myself a gal named Sue treats me really fine
Yes, she's my baby and I love her all the time

It takes a worried worried man to sing a worried worried song
It takes a worried worried man to sing a worried worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I've been away on a business trip travelin' all around
I got a gal and her name is Sue, prettiest gal in town
She sets my mind to worryin' every time I'm gone
I'll be home tonight so I won't be worried long

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

Well *Bob* is in the livin' room holdin' hands with Sue
*Nicky's* at that big front door vowin'; to come on through
Well I'm here in the closet, oh lord what shall I do
We're worried now but we won't be worried long

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, oh yes
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

*apparently sung by lead Dave Guard referring to other Trio members Bob Shane
and Nick Reynolds
