Words and Music by Donald D. Guard and Tom Glazeradapted from traditional

American folk song Worried Man Bluess trip travelin?all around

I got a gal and her name is Sue, prettiest gal in town

She sets my mind to worryin?every time Im gone

Ill be home tonight so I wont be worried long



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

Im worried now but I wont be worried long



Well *Bob* is in the livin?room holdin?hands with Sue

*Nickys* at that big front door vowin? to come on through

Well Im here in the closet, oh lord what shall I do

Were worried now but we wont be worried long



It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, oh yes

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

Im worried now but I wont be worried long



*apparently sung by lead Dave Guard referring to other Trio members Bob Shane

and Nick Reynolds
