I'm Troubled

Our meeting is a pleasure

And partying is grief

But a false hearted lover

Is worse than a thief



A thief can but rob you

And take what you save

But a false hearted lover

Take you to your grave



I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

I'll live a long time



A grave will decay you

And turn you to dust

And a girl in a million

That a poor boy can trust



They'll hug and kiss you

And tell you more lies

And they cross ties on the railroad

Or stars in the sky



I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

I'll live a long time



I'm going to Georgia

I'm going to Rome

I'm going to Georgia

To make it my home



Gonna build me a cabin

On the mountain so high

Oh, the wild birds and turtle doves

Can hear my sad cry



I'm troubled, I'm troubled

I'm troubled in mind

If trouble don't kill me

I'll live a long time
