Heard the one about your woman
|
Lord, she's been messing 'round
|
She's been stepping out on the street
|
Lord, she's been hanging out
|
Ain't nobody had her this week but it won't take long
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
And I hope it won't mess with me
|
Walking downtown the other day
|
A man put a gun in my back
|
"Give me all you've got or I'll blow you away
|
That's a fact, Jack"
|
Woe me, misery, too much been going down
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
And I hope it won't mess with me
|
Catch the next train out of here
|
Goodbye, I'll see you, so long
|
Time was I could face it here
|
That was a long time ago
|
I'll leave you very low, next time you won't see me at all
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
|
And I hope it won't mess with me
|
