I went down to Nashville
|
Rode that L&N
|
I'd seen that pretty gal standin' there
|
Dropped/brought my tongue down to my chin
|
Cause she's so fine
|
I was right on time
|
|
She took me down to 2nd street
|
She said "I'll be right back"
|
I waited there for seven weeks
|
Then got back on the track
|
And now we're through
|
And I'm so blue
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh no, the trouble that I'm in
|
Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin
|
And there's a long lonely road, boys
|
I'll be travellin'
|
So long, tell my troubles to the wind
|
|
Way down south in Louisville
|
They showed me to the door
|
They hadn't seen a railroad bum
|
Since 1924
|
Its a rich folk's town
|
They don't need me 'round
|
|
The police came and got me
|
They took/dropped me way downtown
|
Guilty for this vagrancy
|
And now I'm prison bound
|
Up on the hill
|
In Louisville
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Oh no, the trouble...
|
|
If you're ever in Birmingham
|
You know where I'll be found
|
Standin' in line at the CCC
|
Signin' my name down
|
On the dotted line
|
Puttin' in my dime
|
|
So put away your whiskey boys
|
Throw down your gamblin' cards
|
Quit sellin' that corn liquor boys
|
And sleepin' in freight yards
|
In every town
|
They'll run you down
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Oh no the trouble that I'm in...
|
