Worried Man Blues

Elliott Murphy

Transposer:

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 I went across the river and I lay down to sleep I went across the river and I lay down to sleep Well I went across the river and I lay down to sleep When I woke up I had the shackles and my feet Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg I?ve twenty-nine links of chain around my leg And on each link is the initial of my name Because 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 I asked the judge what might be my fine I asked the judge what might be my fine I asked the judge well what might be my fine Twenty-one years on that Rocky Mountain Line The train that I ride is sixteen coaches long The train that I ride is sixteen coaches long The train I ride is sixteen coaches long The girl I love is on that train and gone Because 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

Cette chanson évoque les soucis et les peines d'un homme tourmenté, dont la mélodie traduit des sentiments de détresse et de résilience. Il raconte son expérience difficile, d'abord en cherchant le sommeil, mais se réveillant confronté à des chaînes qui l'entravent, métaphore de ses soucis et des limitations de la vie. En parallèle, il fait face à la justice qui lui impose une lourde peine, tout en gardant en tête qu'un amour lointain, sur un train, le hante aussi. Le contexte peut faire penser à une période de luttes personnelles, où l'on se débat avec ses démons intérieurs tout en espérant un avenir meilleur. L’angoisse et la mélancolie se mêlent à une forme d’espoir, soulignant que même dans les moments difficiles, on peut trouver une trace de lumière.
