Trouble That I'm In

Old Crow Medicine Show


I went down to Nashville 
Rode that L&N 
I'd seen that pretty gal standin' there 
Dropped/brought my tongue down to my chin 
Cause she's so fine 
I was right on time 

She took me down to 2nd street 
She said "I'll be right back" 
I waited there for seven weeks 
Then got back on the track 
And now we're through 
And I'm so blue 

Chorus:
Oh no, the trouble that I'm in 
Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin 
And there's a long lonely road, boys 
I'll be travellin' 
So long, tell my troubles to the wind 

Way down south in Louisville 
They showed me to the door 
They hadn't seen a railroad bum 
Since 1924 
Its a rich folk's town 
They don't need me 'round 

The police came and got me 
They took/dropped me way downtown 
Guilty for this vagrancy 
And now I'm prison bound 
Up on the hill 
In Louisville 

(Chorus) 
Oh no, the trouble... 

If you're ever in Birmingham 
You know where I'll be found 
Standin' in line at the CCC 
Signin' my name down 
On the dotted line 
Puttin' in my dime 

So put away your whiskey boys 
Throw down your gamblin' cards 
Quit sellin' that corn liquor boys 
And sleepin' in freight yards 
In every town 
They'll run you down 

(Chorus) 
Oh no the trouble that I'm in...
