Lyrics
Outside my hotel he played a sad guitar
Drowned by the street noise of a row of lunch time bars
Shoppers on the high street just kept walking by
To his songs of Robert Johnson
Blues of Buddy Guy
And oh how I wished I'd listened
When that old man sang the blues
He sang don't ever trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you
Retrospect is easy that's my new cliché
Some men find religion just to help em on their way
I never found religion, I never read that book
I just kept on finding trouble which ever way I looked
And Oh how I wished I'd listened
When that old man sang the blues
He sang don't ever trouble truble
Till trouble troubles you
Trouble with loving
And trouble with the law
I got trouble with money
I made a lot but I always spent more
So I'm standing outside that hotel
I played the sad guitar
Drowned by the street noise of karaoke bars
And the shoppers in the precinct just kept walking by
To my songs of Robert Johnson
Blues of Buddy Guy
And oh how I wished I'd listened
When that old man sang the blues
He sang don't ever trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
