[Verse 1]
A bad things do happen to all good people, it's true
But when bad things happen, there’s one sure thing that I'll do
Hey, the trouble will pass
The trouble will pass

[Verse 2]
Yeah, when the Devil come-a-call, don't you answer that door no more
He’s a widow-maker and a family-breaker, for sure
The trouble will pass
The trouble will pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Trouble come at you a hundred miles-an-hour
But trouble just wants to pass
Trouble don't slow down in the curve
But trouble runs out of gas

[Chorus]
Don't you trouble with the trouble
'Til the trouble troubles you, brother
Don't you trouble with the trouble
'Til the trouble troubles you

[Piano breakdown]
[Verse 3]
Yeah, once I knew a woman who betrayed her family
She asked for forgiveness any time it, it came to be
Her trouble didn't pass
Her trouble didn't pass

[Verse 4]
And once I knew a man that wanted to take his own life
But he didn’t and now he’s got a little bitty baby and a wife
His trouble didn't pass
His trouble didn’t pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Trouble come at you a hundred miles-an-hour
But trouble just wants to pass
Trouble don't slow down in the curve
But trouble runs out of gas

[Chorus]
Don't you trouble with the trouble
'Til the trouble troubles you, brother
Don’t you trouble with the trouble
'Til the trouble troubles you

[Outro]
Don't you trouble with the trouble 'til the trouble troubles you
Don't you trouble with the trouble 'til the trouble troubles you
Don't you trouble with the trouble
Trouble with the trouble
Trouble with the trouble
Trouble with the trouble
Don't you trouble with the trouble 'til the trouble troubles you
Don't you trouble with the trouble 'til the trouble troubles you
Don't you trouble with it
Don't you trouble with it
For God's sakes leave it alone! Get away!
