Lightning Hopkins - The Trouble Blues lyrics

rate me

This is the trouble blues, that Lightnin' Hopkins is

havin' at the present, which I hope it don't last all

week.

Trouble, trouble, trouble,

Trouble is all in the world I see

Trouble, trouble, trouble,

Trouble is all in the world I see

Yeah you know I often wonder

What in the world gonna become of me

Now when I wake up in the mornin'

Blues and trouble all 'round my bed

When I wake up in the mornin'

Blues and trouble all 'round my bed

Yeah you know I never will forget

Last what I heard my baby said

What did she say boy?

She said "Lightnin' I'm leavin' you in the mornin'

And you cryin' won't make me stay"

She said "I'm leavin' you in the mornin'

Lightnin' your cryin' won't make me stay"

I just said "I hope, little girl,

Po' Lightnin'll meet you again some day"

And she got sad and I did too, we had to moan a little

Well I had to tell 'r:

"If you just gotta go

Hope I'll meet you again some day

If you just gotta go

Hope I'll meet you again some day

Yes when I do little girl

You'll be done changed your evil way"
