I’m Troubled
Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
Lazy John & The Friday Blooze:
[D]Our courting’s a pleasure and [G]parting is [D]grief
But a falsehearted lover is [A]worse than a [D]thief
A thief can but rob you and [G]take what you [D]save
But a falsehearted lover will [A]lead you to your [D]grave
——————————————————–
[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind
[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time
——————————————————–
[D]A grave will decay you and [G]turn you to [D]dust
[D]Ain’t one girl in a million that a [A]poor boy can [D]trust
[D]They’ll hug and kiss you and [G]tell you more [D]lies
[D]Than crossties on the railroad or [A]stars in the [D]sky
——————————————————–
[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind
[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time
——————————————————–
[D]I’m going to Georgie I’m [G]going to [D]roam
[D]I’m going to Georgie to [A]make it my [D]home
[D]Gonna build me a cabin on a [G]mountains so [D]high
[D]Where the wild birds and the turtledoves can [A]hear my
sad [D]cry

[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind
[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time
