Old Rub Alcohol Blues

歌詞

Troubles up and down the road And trials all the way around Never knew what trouble was 'Til my darling threw me down With nothing but old ragged clothes My heart strings broken to shreds Blues creepin' over my body Queer notions flyin' to my head If ever I meet that girl again Our troubles will all be o'er I'll steal her out away from home We will sail for some foreign shore When my worldly trials are over And my last goodbye I've said Bury me near my darling's doorstep Where the roses bloom and fade My pockets are all empty Like they've often been before If I ever reach my home again I'll walk these ties no more The easiest thing I ever done Was lovin' and drinkin' wine The hardest thing I ever done Was workin' out a judge's fine The cheapest thing I ever done Was sleepin' out amongst the pines The hardest thing I ever tried Was keeping pork chops off of my mind Have never worked for pleasure Peace on earth I cannot find The only thing I surely own Is a worried and troubled mind If wine and women don't kill me There's one more plan to find Soak up the old rub alcohol Ease all troubles off my mind When my worldly trials are over And my last goodbye I've said Bury me near my darling's doorstep Where the roses bloom and fade
