Worried Man Blues

Worried Man Blues es un temazo que sirve como adelanto del que va a ser el nuevo disco del cantante y compositor irlandés Van Morrison, que se lanzará en marzo de este 2023 y llevará por título Moving on Skiffle.

Este segundo sencillo nos descubre como va a ser el esperadísimo nuevo trabajo de "el león de Belfast" donde nos trae las raíces del Skiffle, género que adora Morrison y convierte esta canción en casi un himno con una magia que rodea cada una de sus notas.

La canción fue originariamente grabada en 1930 por La familia Carter y a lo largo de los años ha tenido muchas variaciones en su letra en su numerosas versiones como las que hicieron June Carter y Johnny Cash o The Stanley Brothers.

La versión de Van Morrison que estará incluida en este nuevo álbum, no es su primera versión, ya que apareció anteriormente por vez primera en su álbum de 1998 que llevó por título The Skiffle Sessions - Live in Belfast junto al cantante y músico británico Lonnie Donegan y el músico ingles Chris Barber.

Train I ride is twenty one coaches long

Train I ride twenty one coaches long

Train I ride twenty one coaches long

One I love is on that train and gone

And it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

takes a worried man sing a worried song

I´m worried now but I won´t be worried long

Around my ankles twenty one links of chain

Around my ankles twenty one links of chain

Around my ankles twenty one links of chain

On each one there´s engraved my name

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

I´m worried now, baby, but I won´t be worried long, all right

Train I ride is twenty one coaches long

Train that I ride is twenty one coaches long

Train that I ride twenty one coaches long

The one I love is on that rain and gone

Well I went across the river and I laid me down to sleep

I went across the river and I laid me down to sleep

Went across the river laid me down to sleep

When I woke up there was shackles on my feet

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

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

Well I went across the river and I laid me down to sleep

I went across that river and I laid me down to sleep

I went, I went, I went across the river laid me down to sleep

When I woke, when I woke up there was shackles on my feet

Train that I ride is twenty one coaches long

Train that I ride is twenty one coaches long

Train that I ride twenty one coaches long

Baby, I´m gonna be on that train and gone

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

I´m worried now, but I won´t be worried long

(One more time)

Well it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

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
