| Heard the one about your woman
|
| Lord, she’s been messing 'round
|
| She’s been stepping out on the street
|
| Lord, she’s been hanging out
|
| Ain’t nobody had her 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
|
| 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 |
