Ida Cox — Trouble Trouble Blues

[Verse 1] Everywhere I go, trouble is all I see Everywhere I go, trouble is all I see It seems like blues and trouble just won't let me be [Verse 2] I went down to the river just at the break of day I went down to the river just at the break of day And asked the water to roll my blues away [Verse 3] I want a home on an island where I can't see no land I want a home on an island where I can't see no land Then maybe I won't have no trouble tryin' to keep my man [Verse 4] He's got no money, no diamonds on his hand He's got no money, no diamonds on his hand Girls, it's not a wise woman who will advertise her man [Verse 5] My man, I can't keep him, can't leave him alone My man, I can't keep him, can't leave him alone I can't keep him with me and I won't let him stay at home
