Trouble Trouble Blues

Everywhere I go, trouble is all I see

Everywhere I go, trouble is all I see

It seems like blues and trouble just won't let me be

I went down to the river just at the break of day

I went down to the river just at the break of day

And asked the water to roll my blues away

I want a home on an island where I can't see no land

I want a home on an island where I can't see no land

Then maybe I won't have no trouble tryin' to keep my man

He's got no money, no diamonds on his hand

He's got no money, no diamonds on his hand

Girls, it's not a wise woman who will advertise her man

My man, I can't keep him, can't leave him alone

My man, I can't keep him, can't leave him alone

I can't keep him with me and I won't let him stay at home
