I'm Troubled

I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

Lord I'll live a long time

Courting is pleasure

And parting is grief

But a false hearted lover

Is worse than a thief

For a thief will just rob you

And take what you crave

But a false hearted lover

Will lead you to the grave

I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

Lord I'll live a long time

And the grave will decay you

And turn you to dust

Not one girl in a hundred

That a poor boy can trust

They'll hug and kiss you

And tell you more lies

Than the cross ties on a railroad

Or the stars in the sky

I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

Lord I'll live a long time

I'm going to Georgia

I'm going to Rome

I'm going to Georgia

Gonna make it my home

I'm gonna build me a cabin

On the mountain so high

So the world bird and the turtle dove

Will hear my sad cry

I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

Lord I'll live a long time
