Trouble Blues

Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Trouble is all in the world I see
Trouble, trouble, trouble,
Trouble is all in the world I see
Yeah you know I often wonder
What in the world gonna become of me
Now when I wake up in the mornin'
Blues and trouble all 'round my bed
When I wake up in the mornin'
Blues and trouble all 'round my bed
Yeah you know I never will forget
Last what I heard my baby said
What did she say boy?
She said "Lightnin' I'm leavin' you in the mornin'
And you cryin' won't make me stay"
She said "I'm leavin' you in the mornin'
Lightnin' your cryin' won't make me stay"
I just said "I hope, little girl,
Po' Lightnin'll meet you again some day"
And she got sad and I did too, we had to moan a little
Well I had to tell 'r:
"If you just gotta go
Hope I'll meet you again some day
If you just gotta go
Hope I'll meet you again some day
Yes when I do little girl
You'll be done changed your evil way"
