I went accros the river, laid down to sleep
I went accros the river, laid down to sleep
I went accros the river, laid down to sleep
And when I woke up, had shakels on my feet
Twenty nine link's of chain, all around my leg
Twenty nine link's of chain, all around my leg
Twenty nine link's of chain, all around my leg
And on each link of chain, an initial of my name
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
I asked the judge, what's gonna be my fine
I asked the judge, what's gonna be my fine
I asked the judge, what's gonna be my fine
Twenty one years on the Rocky Mountain Line
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
If anyone asks you, who made up this song
If anyone asks you, who made up this song
If anyone asks you, who made up this song
Tell him it was I, and I sing it all day long
