Troubles

I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got more troubles than I got days

She came up from dixie county
Long red hair and freckles on her face
She promised me I could make her happy
Said she'd wed me and love me always
Instead she taught me about disgrace

I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got more troubles than I got days

Well I went down to the welfare office
Said "I ain't worked in a hundred days"
They made me prove that I's unworthy
Said I got hungry kids and bills to pay
Lord they made me feel ashamed

I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got more troubles than I got days

Well I start drinking when I get lonely
I start drinking to forget
Well I start drinking and it gets ugly
I start drinking can't seem to quit
And my troubles start pouring in

I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got troubles, and I keep counting
I got more troubles than I got days
I got more troubles than I got days
