"I'm Troubled" lyrics - CROOKED STILL

Meeting is pleasure
And parting is grief
But a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief

A thief will just rob you
And take what you save
But a false-hearted lover
Will lead you to the grave

[Chorus:]
I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
Lord I'll live a long time

The grave will decay you
And turn you to dust
Not one girl in a hundred
That a poor boy can trust

They'll hug and kiss you
And tell you more lies
Than the cross ties on a railroad
Or the stars in the sky

[Chorus:]
I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
Lord I'll live a long time

I'm going to Georgia
I'm going to Rome
I'm going to Georgia
Gonna make it my home

I'm gonna build me a cabin
On the mountain so high
Where the wild birds and the turtle doves
Can hear my sad cry

[Chorus:]
I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
Lord I'll live a long time

[Chorus:]
I'm troubled, I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If trouble don't kill me
Lord I'll live a long time
