A           D             E 
Worried man, worried man 
           A  
I'm a very worried man 
D                   A 
Hungry babies don't understand 
E         A 
Papa is a worried man 
E         A 
Papa is a worried man 
 
The place I used to draw my pay 
Slam the door on me today 
Told me just to stay away 
And don't caome back again 
 
I went back home to brwak the news 
My woman saw that I had the blues 
She the babies need new shoes   
now I'm a worried man 
 
Chorus 
 
There is no way that I can see 
That I can feed my family 
I don't owe no moneytree 
I don't owe no land 
   
But I said mama don't you cry 
I'll get a job before the day goes by 
I don't no where and that is why 
That 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 
Papa is a worried man 
Papa is a worried man
