A Worried Man

Artists: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 20 in 1959)
Words and Music by Donald D. Guard and Tom Glazeradapted from traditional
American folk song Worried Man Bluess 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 Im gone
Ill be home tonight so I wont 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
Im worried now but I wont be worried long

Well *Bob* is in the livin?room holdin?hands with Sue
*Nickys* at that big front door vowin? to come on through
Well Im here in the closet, oh lord what shall I do
Were worried now but we wont 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
Im worried now but I wont be worried long

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