Trouble 'Til the Day I Die

TROUBLE TILL THE DAY I DIE

WHEN I WAS BORN MY MOMA WAS CRYING
THE ROOF WAS A LEAKING FROM A THUNDER STORM
THE MIDWIFE SAID AS MOMA WAS DYING
THAT TROUBLE WAS COMING, AND TO BE FOR WARNED

DADDY DIED DIGGIN' IN THE BOTTOM OF A COAL MINE
THE BANKER CAME AND HE TOOK OUR SHACK
TWELVE YEARS OLD AND WALKING THE MAIN LINE
TROUBLE FOLLOWED ME DOWN THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS

     TROUBLE COMES AND GOES FOR ORDINARY SOULS
     FOR SOME MEN IT'S JUST THEIR WAY OF LIFE
     TROUBLE TAKES A MAN AND HAUNTS HIM TO THE END
     TROUBLE, TROUBLE TILL THE DAY I DIE

I THINK ABOUT ALL THE HEARTACHE I'M A HOLDIN
WHILE I'M LIVING THERE'S NO ESCAPE
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT KEEPS ME A GOING
TROUBLE CAN'T GET ME WHEN I'M LAYING IN THE GRAVE
