Lyrics:

Troubles up and down the road,

And trials all the way around;

Never knew what trouble was,

'Til my darling threw me down.

With nothing but old ragged clothes,

My heart strings broken to shreds;

Blues creepin' over my body,

Queer notions flyin' to my head.

If ever I meet that girl again,

Our troubles will all be o'er;

I'll steal her out away from home,

We will sail for some foreign shore.

When my worldly trials are over,

And my last goodbye I've said;

Bury me near my darling's doorstep,

Where the roses bloom and fade.

My pockets are all empty,

Like they've often been before;

If I ever reach my home again,

I'll walk these ties no more.

The easiest thing I ever done,

Was lovin' and drinkin' wine;

The hardest thing I ever done,

Was workin' out a judge's fine.

The cheapest thing I ever done,

Was sleepin' out amongst the pines;

The hardest thing I ever tried,

Was keeping pork chops off of my mind.

Have never worked for pleasure,

Peace on earth I cannot find;

The only thing I surely own,

Is a worried and troubled mind.

If wine and women don't kill me,

There's one more plan to find;

Soak up the old rub alcohol,

Ease all troubles off my mind.

When my worldly trials are over,

And my last goodbye I've said;

Bury me near my darling's doorstep,

Where the roses bloom and fade.
