Troubles up and down the road And trials all the way around Never knew what trouble was Till my honey threw me down With nothing but old ragged clothes My heartstrings broken to shreds Blues creeping over my body Queer notions flying in my head The easiest thing I ever done Was loving and drinking wine The hardest thing I ever done Was paying off a judge's fine No I've never worked for pleasure Peace on earth I cannot find The only thing I surely own Is a worried and troubled mind If men and wine don't kill me There's one more plan to find Oh soak up all the old rub alcohol Ease all trouble off my mind Oh ease all trouble off my mind My mind, my mind
