Lyrics
Troubles On
My Mind
I counted my pennies
I didn't have none, no
I counted my children
They's 7 + 1
I got troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
I went for some water
The well was dry
I guess I'll be drinking
The tears from my eyes
I got troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
I went to the garden
My crops was all dead
I started singing
This tune in my head
LEAD
I got troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
I'd better get ready
For them pearly gates
I'm worryin myself to
An early grave
I got troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
Lor knows we are hungry
Lord knows we are cold
I'd try to be a hooker
but I'm way to damned old
I got troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
I got me some troubles
You got troubles too
how do we get out from under
This mother of the blues
troubles on my mind
troubles on my mind
Oh they on my mind hoo
