I’m Troubled

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Meeting is pleasure And parting is grief But a false-hearted lover Is worse than a thief [Verse 2] A thief will just rob you And take what you save But a false-hearted lover Will lead you to the grave [Chorus] I'm troubled, I'm troubled I'm troubled in mind If trouble don't kill me Lord I'll live a long time [Verse 3] The grave will decay you And turn you to dust Not one girl in a hundred That a poor boy can trust [Verse 4] They'll hug and kiss you And tell you more lies Than the cross ties on a railroad Or the stars in the sky [Chorus] I'm troubled, I'm troubled I'm troubled in mind If trouble don't kill me Lord I'll live a long time [Verse 5] I'm going to Georgia I'm going to Rome I'm going to Georgia Gonna make it my home [Verse 6] I'm gonna build me a cabin On the mountain so high Where the wild birds and the turtle doves Can hear my sad cry [Chorus] I'm troubled, I'm troubled I'm troubled in mind If trouble don't kill me Lord I'll live a long time [Chorus] I'm troubled, I'm troubled I'm troubled in mind If trouble don't kill me Lord I'll live a long time
