John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Don'T You Worry

Don't you worry

Don't you worry, if you have nothing to eat
Don't you worry, you will always make ends meet
Don't you worry, even if you have no friend
Don't you worry, you will find one in the end

Verse 1
You could be the type of person who likes to fight
maybe you do it trying to protect your rights
sometimes when it's dark you have to turn on the light
in the dead of night

Don't you worry, even if you have no home
Don't you worry, cause you'll never feel alone
Don't you worry, even if you have no clothes
Don't you worry, because here it never snows

Verse 2
You may be the kind who thinks they're never wrong
maybe you're the kind who sings a sad, sad song
then you find out the truth that's been there all along
and just where you belong

Don't you worry, if there's nobody to love
Don't you worry, it gives you something to dream of
Don't you worry, if you don't have a good job
Don't you worry, at least you won't become a snob

Verse 3
Maybe you'll find out there's a purpose to your life
maybe you'll find a love that don't cut like a knife
maybe you'll be a husband with a lovely wife
because you've paid the price

Don't you worry, if you have nothing to eat
Don't you worry, you will always make ends meet
Don't you worry, even if you have no friend
Don't you worry, you will find one in the end

repeat last two lines and fade

Joanna Daniel November 21, 2017 at 5:52 AM I loved your matching lyrics to the song, John, you are amazing:) I wonder whether I will be able to match..both the original and yours are really so wonderful, and the song is soooo big.. I will try anyway...soupmail John Hamilton November 21, 2017 at 9:54 AM Oh you will do great Jo, just consider it fun, my lyrics are done in parts tongue in cheek, so don't take it too seriously and the words will flow, thanks for the confidence boost!

Constance La France November 20, 2017 at 2:18 PM Hi John, great song, I am going to do my best for you and thanks for the song and lyrics ~ John Hamilton November 20, 2017 at 5:10 PM Thanks Constance looking forward to your beautiful song!

Alexis Y. November 20, 2017 at 1:55 PM Hi John, You've penned a good example for your contest. But I think I will sit this one out. But I must I really enjoy songs whether they are happy or sad. You are a talented song writer. I hope one day you get a hit record. I think your songs are much better than some that's playing on the radio now. Great video and song:-) Alexis John Hamilton November 28, 2017 at 11:57 AM My lyrics are posted now Alexis, give the contest a try, don't worry Alexis Y. November 20, 2017 at 5:42 PM I'm sorry I thought that you wrote them:-) Alexis John Hamilton November 20, 2017 at 5:10 PM This is the original song lyrics, I haven't posted my example yet! Thanks for the visit Alexis, I know you could do it if you give it a try!

Vijay Pandit November 19, 2017 at 6:48 PM Hi John--thanks for the lyrics and video. About the last four lines of the song--where you say repeat from the beginning fade: I noticed that only the first two lines repeat, the last two lines are completely new! John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 9:55 PM Yeah I noticed too but I think the song is long enough so just end it where I did, but if you want to continue fine too!

Andrea Dietrich November 19, 2017 at 6:47 PM Oh, I'm so silly. These are lyrics with the song being sung right up at the top!! It's no wonder this one got made into a song!!! John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 9:58 PM Yeah Bob and George know how to write them alright!

Andrea Dietrich November 19, 2017 at 6:45 PM this is SO lyrical, John!! I guess I need to find out what this contest is all about that you put in your title!! John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 9:57 PM Your funny Andrea, I guess it's a little confusing, but I'm holding off with my sample, I want to see what everyone else comes up with, I think the idea, rhyme scheme everything is obvious so should be straightforward.

Nette Onclaud November 19, 2017 at 2:09 PM john...would you like to just put the link to the music/ lyrics?.. good luck and thanks for considering my work... huggs John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 5:40 PM Ok lyrics and video are up now! John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 5:01 PM Sorry Nette do you know how to link a utube video?

CayCay Godwin November 19, 2017 at 1:39 PM Which song? I still mourn George (never got over John), now Tom and I'm sure we've reached the age where more and more great writers/singers who were so a part of who I grew to be, will be making their final transition. There is no talent comparable to the talent of one who can write lyrics, add music and sing. Impulse is responsible for me commenting when you probably sought none! CayCay John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 5:50 PM Song and lyrics are on my sample page now! John Hamilton November 19, 2017 at 1:47 PM End of the line Traveling Wilbury's, still trying to embed the video!
