[Verse 1: Justin Robinson]
I wished I had a nickel, I wished I had a dime
I wish I had me a pretty girl, you know I'd call her mine

[Chorus: All]
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind

[Verse 2: Don Flemons]
If you see that gal o' mine, you make sure that you tell her
If she don't like my way o' doing, she can get some other feller

[Chorus: All]
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind

[Verse 3: Don Flemons]
If you see that gal of mine; you tell her, if you can
'Fore she goes to make my bread to wash them nasty hands

[Chorus: All]
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
[Refrain: Don Flemons]
Trouble, trouble; trouble in my mind
If trouble don't kill me, I'm sure I'll never die

[Chorus: All]
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't you get trouble in your mind

[Refrain: Don Flemons]
Trouble, trouble; trouble in my mind
If trouble don't kill me, I'm sure I'll never die

[Chorus: All]
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
Don't get trouble in your mind
