|
Well you think you got troubles
|
Man listen to me
|
I'll tell you a story as it happened you see
|
|
I got four little kids a-waiting at home
|
My wife done packed her bags and gone
|
She done moved on across the tracks
|
And I know that girl ain't a-coming back
|
|
CHORUS
|
I got troubles
|
Troubles on my mind
|
Well I got troubles, hey those lonesome kind
|
|
Every morning Œbout 8 o'clock
|
The kids start crying and they holler ³Pop,
|
Where's my mama? Where's she gone?
|
And when's my mama gonna come back home?²
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
My little girl is only three
|
I picked her up and set her on my knee
|
Try to soothe her crying but she cries too hard
|
And the crying, oh daddy, well, oh Lord
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
I know my baby's too young to talk
|
I sit and watch her try to walk
|
She's turning around, watching the door
|
And a big teardrop done hit the floor
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Well I told you a story as it happened to me
|
Just the way that it happened you see
|
You got a good gal don't you do her no wrong
|
She'll pack her trunk and then be gone
|
|
Then you'll have troubles
|
Troubles on your mind
|
