Worried man worried man I'm a very worried man Hungry babies don't understand Papa is a worried man The place I go to draw my pay Slammed the door on me today And told me just to stay away And don't come back again I went back home to break the news My woman saw that I had the blues But she said the babies need new shoes And I'm a worried man Worried man worried man I'm a very worried man Hungry babies don't understand Papa is a worried man Well there is no way that I can see That I can feed my family Cause I don't own a money tree And very little 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 I'm a worried man. Worried man worried man I'm a very worried man Hungry babies don't understand Papa is a worried man
