Chorus:
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song. (Repeat twice)
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)
