Trouble In The City
Heard the one about your man
Lord, he’s been messing ’round
He’s been stepping out on the street
Lord, he’s been hanging out
Ain’t nobody had him yet this week but it won’t take long
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
And I hope it won’t mess with me
Walking downtown the other day
A man put a gun in my back
“Give me all you’ve got or I’ll blow you away
That’s a fact, Jack”
Woe me, misery, too much been going down
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
And I hope it won’t mess with me
Catch the next train out of here
Goodbye, I’ll see you, so long
Time was I could face it here
That was a long time ago
When I leave, I’ll leave you very low
Next time you won’t see me at all
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
Lord, lord, there’s trouble in the city
And I hope it won’t mess with me
