Worried Man Lyrics (Johnny Cash)
© '74 Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP
Refrain:
Worried man, a worried man I'm a very worried man
Hungry babies don't understand Papa is a worried man - papa is a worried man
Place I used to draw my pay, slammed the door on me today
Told me just to stay away and don't come back again
So I went back home to break the news, my woman saw that I had the blues
She said, the babies need new shoes, now I'm a worried man
Refrain:-Solo-
There is no way that I can see, that I can feed my family
I don't own a money tree, I don't own no land
But I said, mamma, don't you cry, I'll get a job before the day goes by
I don't know where, and that is why and I'm a worried man
Refrain:Papa is a worried man
