In this video, The Spoon Lady, Hunter the Spoon Man, and Les Blackwell jam away to “Worried Man Blues.” With a man on the banjo, one on the guitar, and The Spoon Lady on the spoons, the old folk song sure sounds great. Watch the video to hear it. 

It’s fascinating to watch Abby Roach, The Spoon Lady, keep in perfect rhythm the whole time as she makes music with a pair of spoons. Seeing the three of them hanging out on the porch makes you feel like sitting down and joining them. 

Some Background for This Song

“Worried Man Blues” was first recorded by country group The Carter Family in 1930. Others who also sang it were Woody Guthrie, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, The Stanley Brothers, Van Morrison, and George Jones. The Carters were the first to sing it, but they learned it from someone else, who remained unnamed. 

Some of the lyrics to “Worried Man Blues” are:

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 

1930 was the year after the stock market crashed, so a lot of people were feeling the “Worried Man Blues.” It’s likely remained such a popular folk song because, no matter what point in time, someone can always relate to it. 

It’s lovely to hear these three artists make music together. They’ve each got their own set of skills, and sound even better together. There is also something to be said about the simple and casual style of the performance. There are no fancy microphones or a stage. It’s just a homey porch on a sunny day. It’s got a genuine feel that everyone will love. 

“casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

A song of reliance on the Holy Spirit. Inspirational. Romans 8:26-27 – "And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will." #holyspirit #trust #soul #life #prayer

“If Ever I Loved Thee” is a quiet, deeply personal response to the overwhelming mercy of Christ.

Set against the backdrop of His suffering, death, burial, and resurrection, the song reflects on a simple but piercing truth: Jesus endured what looked like madness to the world—though He was completely innocent—so that we might receive the mercy we could never earn.

He stood silent before His accusers.

He suffered without guilt.

He chose the cross… for us.

And in that moment, what appeared to be defeat became the greatest act of love in human history.

“If Ever I Loved Thee” is not a declaration of perfect devotion, but a humble offering—an acknowledgment that any love we have for Him exists only because He first loved us.

It is a song of surrender.

A song of gratitude.

A song for anyone who has come to realize the depth of His mercy.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and be reminded:

What looked like madness… was mercy all along.
