I'm Troubled

Our meeting's a pleasure
And parting is grief
But a false hearted lover
Is worse than a thief

A thief can but rob you
And take what you save
But a false hearted lover
Takes you to your grave

I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
I'll live a long time

A grave will decay you
And turn you to dust
Show me a girl in a million
That a poor boy can trust

They'll hug you and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than cross ties on the railroad
Or stars in the sky

I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
I'll live a long time

I'm going to Georgia
I'm going to roam
I'm going to Georgia
To make it my home

Gonna build me a cabin
On the mountain so high
Where the wild birds and turtle doves
Can hear my sad cry

I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
I'll live a long time
