Trouble's All I See

Trouble's All I See Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in A Blues.

Well trouble trouble
I've had it all my day
Mhmmmmmm
I've had trouble all my day
Well it seem to me like trouble
gonna follow me to my grave

Well the mailman passed by
Boy you didn't leave me any news
Well the mailman passed by
Didn't leave me no news
Well that's why I'm standing here
With these ole buck old blues

Well I dream last night
Woman that I love was dead
Well
Woman I love was dead
Well I didn't have nobody
Set ahold my achin' head

What you say, sugar
Let me hear you talk now

Well I went to the graveyard
Fell down on my knee
Mhmmmmmm
Fell down on my knee
I beg the gravedigger
Gimme back my little Lucy, please

Mhmm gravedigger smile
Boy he looked me in my eye
Mhmmmmmm
And he looked me in my eye
He said I'm sorry for you, BJ
But your sweet woman said her last goodbye

Mmm I throw my arm
And I slowly walked away
Throw my arm, boy, now and
slowly walked away
I said that's alright, Mr. Gravedigger
Somebody gonna cut a six foot hole for you someday

The Wind Is Blowin'

The Wind Is Blowin' Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in E Blues.

Well I know winds are blowin'
by leaves shakin' on the tree
Well I know the winds are blowin'
by the leaves shakin' on the tree
I know my baby got another man
by the way that she treatin' me

Well I, so many big bears
little bear can't have no show
Well I, so many big bears
little bear can't have no show
I guess I'll pack my suitcase
Beat it on down the road

Blow your little horn, boy

Well baby I came undone
on a child I can't understand
Well baby I came undone
on a child I can't understand
Well I know the winds are blowin'
Yous usin' me for your monkey man

Hey now, hear me go

Well goodbye, baby
I don't have no more to say
Mmmmm goodbye, baby
I don't have no more to say
Well I gotta find a wall to fit my clothes
Well I must be on my way
