Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worried man, worried man
Papa is a worried man
[Verse 2]
The place I used to draw my pay
Closed the door on me today
Told me just to stay away
And don't come back again
[Verse 3]
I told my mama, "Baby don't you cry
I'll get a job up before the day go by"
I don't know where and that is why
I'm a worried man
[Verse 4]
Worried man, a worried man
I'm a very worried man
Hungry babies don't understand
That papa is a worried man
Papa is a worried man
[Verse 5]
There is no way that I can see
That I can feed my family
I don't own a money tree
I don't own no land
[Verse 6]
Now listen
I've got muscle and I've got brains
I don't mind the sun and the rain
I gotta make a little change
As I'm a worried, worried, worried man, ooh
[Verse 7]
Worried man, worried man
I'm a very worried man
Hungry babies don't understand
That papa is a worried man
That papa is a worried man
[Verse 8]
Worried man, worried man
Papa is a worried man
Worried man, worried man
