Trouble-Josh White

Trouble - Josh White Written by：Trad White Well I always been in trouble cause I'm a black skinned man Said I hit a white man and they locked me in the can They took me to the stockade wouldn't give me no trial The judge said you black boy forty years on the hard rock pile Trouble trouble sure won't make me stay Trouble trouble jail break due someday Wearin' cold iron shackles from my head down to my knee And that mean old keeper he's all time kickin' me I went up to the walker and the head boss too Said you big white folks please see what you can do Sheriff winked at the policeman said I won't forget you nohow You better come back and see me again boy about 40 years from now Went back to the walker he looked at me and said Don't you worry about 40 cause in five years you'll be dead Trouble trouble makes me weep and moan Trouble trouble every since I was born Trouble trouble sure won't make me stay Trouble trouble jail break due someday Jail break due someday Jail break due someday
