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 John Derek Hamilton November 20,2017

Thanks WW, yeah Wilbury's are great, simple tunes like the Beatles, must be George's influence, and Bob Dylan too classic simple tunes, easy to match lyrics, looking forward to your entry!

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!

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

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!

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!

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!
Date: 11/19/2017 6:47:00 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!!!

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.

john...would you like to just put the link to the music/ lyrics?.. good luck and thanks for considering my work... huggs

Sorry Nette do you know how to link a utube video?

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
