Oh look like : I can see trouble in the air
But ain't only here friend : it trouble everywhere
Now I wished I had listened : what my mother said
I wouldn't have been bound down : in this trouble today
I'm lying in jail : with my face turned to the wall
And that woman I'm loving : she was the cause of it all
Now the judge going to sentence me : and the clerk going 
to write it down
So they accuse me of stealing : I fixing to leave your 
town
I got something to tell you : just before I go
Getting out of trouble this time : woman I won't do wrong 
no more
Oh the judge going to give me : six months on the road
Woman I can't stand it : God in heaven do know it
But I don't mind going : I'm going and leave you here
These men going to mistreat you : God knows they don't 
care
Going to tell you this : just before I go
When I come back here woman : you going to have me some 
more
