Lyrics Trouble - Josh White
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
trial
The
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
