Old Man Trouble Lyrics

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
