Trouble's up and down my door
And trial's all the way around
Never knew what trouble was
'Til my darling threw me down
With nothing but old ragged bones
My heartstrings torn to shreds
Blues were creeping over my body
Worried notions flyin' through my head
I have never worked for pleasure
Pleasure on Earth I cannot find
The only thing I can call my own
Is a worried and troubled mind
If whiskey and women don't kill me
There's one more plan to try:
Soak up the old rub alcohol
Get these troubles all off of my mind
When my earthly trials are over
And my last goodbye I've said
Bury me near my darlin's doorstep
Where the roses bloom at day
And trial's all the way around
Never knew what trouble was
'Til my darling threw me down
With nothing but old ragged bones
My heartstrings torn to shreds
Blues were creeping over my body
Worried notions flyin' through my head
I have never worked for pleasure
Pleasure on Earth I cannot find
The only thing I can call my own
Is a worried and troubled mind
If whiskey and women don't kill me
There's one more plan to try:
Soak up the old rub alcohol
Get these troubles all off of my mind
When my earthly trials are over
And my last goodbye I've said
Bury me near my darlin's doorstep
Where the roses bloom at day
