[Chorus:]
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. [Repeat 2x]

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.
Got myself a Cadillac, thirty dollars down. Got myself a brand new house five
miles out of town.

Got myself a gal named Sue, treats me really fine. Yes, she's my baby and I love
her all the time.


[Chorus]

I've been away on a business trip, travelin' all around. I've got a gal and her

name is Sue, prettiest gal in town.
She sets my mind to worryin' every time I'm gone. I'll be home tonight so I
won't be worried long!


[Chorus]


Well, Bobby's in the living room, holding hands with Sue. Nickie's at that big
front door, 'bout to come on through.
Well, I'm here in the closet. Oh, Lord, what shall I do? We're worried now but

we won't be worried long.

[Chorus]
