I’m a Worried Man

I’m a Worried Man

Lyrics: Late, great American country singer-songwriter Johnny Cash (1932 – 2003)

I’m a Worried Man

Worried man, worried man.
I’m a very worried man.
Hungry babies don’t understand,
Papa is a worried man.

The place I used to draw my pay,
Slammed the door on me today.
And told me just to stay away,
And don’t come back again.

I went back home to break the news,
My woman saw that I had the blues.
She said the babies need new shoes.
And, I’m a worried man.

Worried man, a worried man.
I’m a very worried man.
Hungry babies don’t understand,
Papa is a worried man.

Well there is no way that I can see,
That I can feed my family.
Cause I don’t own a money tree.
And very little land.

But I said, “Mamma, don’t you cry,
I’ll get a job before the day’s gone by.
I don’t know where though, and that is why,
I’m a worried man”.

Worried man, worried man.
I’m a very worried man.
Hungry babies don’t understand,
Papa is a worried man.
