About Don't Worry

"Don't Worry" is a 1961 country/pop single written and recorded by Marty Robbins. "Don't Worry" was Marty Robbins' seventh number one on the country chart and stayed at number one for ten weeks. The single crossed over to the pop chart and was one of Marty Robbins' most successful crossover songs, peaking at number three on the Hot 100. The track has an early example of guitar distortion. Session guitarist Grady Martin, used a faulty channel in the mixing desk for his six-string bass, for the bridge section and brief reprise right at the end, to create a distorted fuzzy sound. Although Martin did not like the sound, Robbins' producer left the guitar track as it was. The sound was eventually reverse-engineered and developed into the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone, manufactured by Gibson.

Don't worry 'bout me, it's all over now 
Though I may be blue, I'll manage somehow
Love can't be explained, can't be controlled 
One day it's warm, next day it's cold

Don't pity me 'cause I'm feelin' blue
Don't be ashamed, it might have been you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, love
Kiss me one time, then go, love
I understand, don't worry 'bout me

Sweet, sweet, sweet love, I want you to be
As happy as I when you loved me
I'll never forget you, your sweet memory 
It's all over now, don't worry 'bout me

When one heart tells one heart, one heart good-bye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh-oh-oh, oh, sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet
It's all right, don't worry 'bout me
