Chorus:
A#            D#
Worried man, worried man
F          A#
I'm a very worried man
A#                  D#
Hungry babies don't understand
 F                 A#
Papa is a worried man

     A#             D#
The place I go to draw my pay
F                   A#
Slammed the door on me today
     A#              D#
And told me just to stay away
F                    A#
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

Chorus

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.

Chorus
