Troubles  up and down the road and trials  all the way around
 I never  knew what trouble was till my honey  threw me down
 With nothing  but old ragged clothes my heart  strings 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 the one  more plan to find
 I’ll soak  up all the old rub-alcohol
 and ease  all trouble off my mind
 I’ll ease  all trouble off my mind, my mind, my mind.
