"Trouble I've Had All My Day" lyrics - MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT

[Intro, spoken]
Well, so... I sing about, I like to get some kind of-seem like I have, I don't know, it's worry, or trouble or somethin', but I get in trouble-trouble I has all my days

[Chorus:]
Trouble, had it all my days
Trouble, had it all my days
Seem like trouble gon' carry me to my grave

My mother told me before I left her door
Lord, mama told me...
'Gon have trouble, son, everywhere you go

[Chorus:]
Well you talk about trouble, I had it all my days
Trouble, had it all my days
Seem like trouble 'gon carry me to my grave

Lord, I wish my babe would stop her evil ways
Lord, I wish my babe would...
Wish my baby would stop her evil ways

[Chorus:]
Seem like trouble...
Trouble, had it all my days
I b'lieve trouble 'gon carry me to my grave

Oh tell me, baby, honey, what's the matter now?
Baby, tell me what's the matter now?
Is you gon' quit your daddy anyhow?

[Chorus:]
Well trouble, trouble, I, had it all my days
Trouble, had it all my days
Seem like trouble, 'gon carry me to my grave

I was walking down the street, just couldn't keep from crying
Couldn't keep from cryin'
The girl I love, sure was on my mind

Lord, the police arrest me, put me in the jail
The police arrest me, put me in the jail
I didn't have nobody to come and go my bail

[Chorus:]
Lord, you talk about trouble I've had it all my days
Trouble, had it all my days
Seem like trouble 'gon carry me to my grave
