Old Man Trouble Songtext / Lyric

Trouble on the water - Trouble on the land

Old man trouble makes his home

Where he can find a troubled man



Trouble - oh trouble

Trouble on my trail

That son of a gun's got me on the run

Old man trouble on my trail






Midnight at the crossroads

Standing by the highway side

Headlights zooming in from the distance

I'm trying to flag a ride

Gotta make it back to the Delta

The place where the blues was born

But nobody wants to take a troubled man

On his lonely journey home



Trouble - oh trouble...



It's the darkest night I've ever seen

Someone tall must have turned off the light

Trouble's my only companion

Feel like hangin' down my head and cry

I thought I heard Blind Willie Johnson sing

What is the soul of a man

Get down on your bended knees my brother

One day you will understand



Trouble - oh trouble...



Trouble on the water - Trouble on the land

Old man trouble makes his home

Where he can find a troubled man
