Trouble in Mind

歌詞

Well I married a gal from ole Alabam' And I figured they'd feed me on chicken and ham But to my surprise I got fooled And they put me to plow with an ole blind mule Cleanin' new ground choppin briars and sleepin' by myself I's invited out to supper the other night And some of the boys they started a fight They called the police you can plainly see They all got away but poor ole me I went to town with the Sheriff he introduced me to the judge And I stayed thirty days with the jailor actin' a big shot nice man [ fiddle ] Now me and my wife's a goin' down the street When my ole used to be I chanced to meet She gave me the wink and my wife looked back And boy you ought to seen me ball the jack I run red lights turned corners and got caught just my luck I was down in the barnyard the other night It was awful dark and I had no light I scrambled around and got hold of a goose And the folks all thought I should turn him loose I jumped rose bushes dodged bullets and fell in the creek [ guitar ] I was down in the barnyard on my knees And I thought I heard a chicken sneeze It was just an ole rooster sayin' his prayers And givin' out a hymn to the hens upstairs Such preachin' the hens were all singin' too Rooster's prayin' takin' up a collection and payin' off in eggs [ guitar ] That ole trouble sure follows me
