My baby left me,
my mule got lame
Lost my money in a poker game
A windstorm came one summer day
Carried the house I lived in away
I'm having so much trouble,
I'm having so much trouble
Having so much trouble, hey,
gonna lose my mind
Started sellin' whiskey, wine and gin
Caught me last week, last night again
Now the sheriff comes in sight
Come in my home,
caught me shootin' dice
I'm havin' so much trouble I'm
havin' so much trouble
I'm havin' so much trouble
Bout to drive me insane
Carried me to jail,
my pajamas on I even hate that I was born
They let me out of jail,
I come through town
Couldn't find my wife,
she had put me down
I'm having so much trouble,
having so much trouble
Having so much trouble,
about to drive me insane
I went to the races, placed my bet
My hard luck, the horse ain't in yet
I went to the house after blowed my door
Even the landlady changed
the lock on the door
I'm having so much trouble
Having so much trouble
Having so much trouble
Bout to drive me insane
I pawned my watch,
I pawned my chain
Would have pawned myself,
but I was a shame
I got a job on the city bank
Late one morning they
laid me off that day
I'm having so much trouble
Having so much trouble
Having so much trouble,
about to drive me insane
Trouble, trouble, trouble
