The Gourds — I'm Troubled lyrics

Lyrics

Well meeting is pleasure and parting is grief
But a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief
A thief can but rob you and take what you’ve saved
But a false-hearted lover takes you to your 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
I’m troubled, I’m troubled, I’m troubled in mind
If trouble don’t kill me, Lord, I’ll live a long time
The grave can detain you and turn you to dust
Ain’t a girl in a million that a poor boy can trust
They hug you and kiss you and tell you more lies
On the cross ties on a railroad or the stars in the skies
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 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 roam
I’m going to Georgia, gonna make it my home
I’m gonna build me a cabin on the mountains so high
Where the wild birds and the turtle doves can hear my sad cry
'Cause 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 troubled, I’m troubled, I’m troubled in mind
If trouble don’t kill me, Lord, I’ll live a long time
