My baby left me, my mule got lame
Lost all my money in a poker game
Wind storm came one summer's day
Carried the house and lift it away

Having so much trouble
Having so much trouble

I'm having so much trouble
It's finally driving me insane

Carry me to jail my pyjamas on
I even hate that I was born
Let me out of jail, come through town
Couldn't find my wife, she had put me down

Having so much trouble
Having so much trouble

I'm having so much trouble:
It's finally driving me insane
I pawned my watch and I pawned my chain
I would have pawned myself but i was ashamed
Got me a job on the city pay
Early one morning layed me off that day
I'm having so much trouble
I'm having so much trouble
I'm having so much trouble
It's bound to drive me insane
I'm having so much trouble:
It's finally driving me insane
Trouble!
