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
