[Verse 1]
Boy you trouble, boy you get
Ain't take the lead
Sent on home a hurricane
Hitched it to your feet

Take your trouble what you get
Boy you travel, boy you get
Hand down the cigarette
And there he go

Watch the whirly in the yard
Sent on home a picture postcard
Watch the whirly ropers go
Don’t you know

[Chorus]
If you think of me tonight
Send a man a lullaby
Are you going far
Are you going far

[Verse 2]
Leave your troubles in the yard
Vultures high and feathers tart
Ran a skin mighty tight
All of you go
Strike a picture, lucky strike
Get on leavin' if you like
Something doesn't settle right
But there he goes

On the porch chewin’ ice
Daddy drew the honey sign
Fixin' he, [?], don't you go

[Verse 3]
Boy you trouble, boy you get
Ain't take the lead
Sent on home a hurricane
Hitched it to your feet

Young boy, listen to your gran
An ostrich ate in the sand
Come back to your land to land
And those who know

Boy you trouble, boy you get
Traveled far and where you did
Go boy, go boy, go boy, go

[Chorus]
If you think of me tonight
Send a man a lullaby
Are you going far
Are you going far
Boy you trouble, boy you get
(Boy you trouble, boy you get)
Boy you traveled, boy you know
Fixin' to go
Fixin', fixin', fixin' to go
