(CHORUS:)
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long!
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep;
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep,
When I woke up, had shackles on my feet!
(CHORUS)
Twenty one links of chain around my leg;
Twenty one links of chain around my leg;
And on each link.there's an initial of my name!
(CHORUS)
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Twenty one years on that rocky mountain line!

(CHORUS)
The train ride is twenty one coaches long;
Train I ride is twenty one coaches long;
And the gal I love is on that train and gone!
(CHORUS)
Twenty one years to pay my awful Crime;
Twenty one years to pay my awful crime;
Twenty one years! And I still got ninety Nine!
(CHORUS)
