Talk:Worried Man Blues

John D. Fox & Sam Collins song
There's a 1927 song by John D. Fox and Sam Collins called "The Worried Man Blues" but it seems to be a completely different song. Here are the lyrics: On a Sunday morning, just about half past four My babe took my hand, said daddy I can't use you no more

Lord I may get better, babe I can't get well Lord I may get better, babe I can't get well I'm going back to my used-to-be, and baby it's country farewell

Lord I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long Lord I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long It takes a man like me, to carry this worried song

Baby I've been worried so long, that worrying don't bother me Baby I've been worried so long, that worrying don't bother me But ain't nobody here babe, to take pity on poor me

I've got a good girl, and I've got a lazy friend I've got a good girl, and I've got a lazy friend And if I tell about her, he always tell me where she been

I always will have trouble, until I'm dead and gone I always will have trouble, until I'm dead and gone If you will love me mama, you'd never treat me wrong I'm not sure what the relationship between the two songs is, if anything. Kaldari (talk) 08:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Johnny Cash song
I think it is fair to say that Johnny Cash is closely associated with the Carter family, yet he has a completely different but still very notable Worried Man song. According to some concert patter, his song came from an encounter with a local at a Jamaican resort. Other than the man being worried, there is not a whole lot of overlap, should there be a disambiguation page vis a vis what the man is worried about and who wrote the song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.170.232 (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Resemblance to "John Brown's Body" / "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Whether or not one finds this idea convincing, it is not cited and and may lack support from published sources--on a quick search, I'm finding only casual opinions, not a sound musicological analysis. As it stands, it's pretty clearly original research as defined at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research. It needs either good citation support or removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poihths (talk • contribs) 13:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
