Trouble Lyrics
Well, I always been in trouble, ‘cause I`m a black-skinned man.
Said I hit a white man, [and they] locked me in the can
They took me to the stockade, wouldn`t give me no trialThe judge said, "You black boy, forty years on the hard rock pile."
Trouble, trouble, sure won`t make me stay,
Trouble, trouble, jail break due someday.
Wearin` cold iron shackles from my head down to my knee
And that mean old keeper, he`s all time kickin` me.
I went up to the walker and the head boss too
Said, "You big white folks, please see what you can do."
Sheriff winked at the policeman, said, "I won`t forget you nohow,
You better come back and see me again, boy, about 40 years from now."
Went back to the walker, he looked at me and said,
"Don`t you worry about 40, ‘cause in five years you`ll be dead."
Trouble, trouble, makes me weep and moan

Trouble, trouble, every since I was born.
Trouble, trouble, sure won`t make me stay,
Trouble, trouble, jail break due someday
