Lyrics

Worried Man

Oh worries are about

And heavy on his gut

He feels he's being punished

For the bad things he has done

Help him Jesus, help him

Send him down a sign

'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time

And he is sitting at the table

The table he has set

He is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect

Help him Jesus, help him

Walk along the line

'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time

He says 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

He is worried now

But he won't be worried long

He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day

Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day

When she heard what he had to say

All that sun soon went away

He broke her heart on a cold and windy day

He says 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

He is worried now

But he won't be worried long

And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light

Shadows cast but none obscure his sight

And they wonder where he is going

While he is knelt before her throat

Refusing to go down without a fight

He says 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

He is worried now

But he won't be worried long
