"Trouble on My Mind" | Peformance
Added 2019-04-14 11:59:27 +0000 UTC"Trouble on My Mind" played on an original 1867 patent Dobson banjo tuned gDGBD, relative (actual: eBEA♭B 432 Hz). I learned this song from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. I'm not sure where Gibson got it from; I think he told me Rufus Crisp but this could also have come from Gran Hudson, his father Mal Gibson or another mentor.
Trouble trouble trouble on my mind
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time,
Live a long time boys live a long time
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time.
Once I had an old banjo it was strung with twine
Only song that it could pick was Trouble on My Mind,
Trouble on my mind boys trouble on my mind
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time.
I went down to Lynchburg to get a jug of wine
They hitched me to the whipping post and gave me 99,
Gave me 99 boys gave me 99
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time.
(One more would'a killed me!)
I went back to Lynchburg to get a pint of gin
They hitched me the whipping post and gave m Hell again,
Gave me Hell again boys gave me Hell again
Hitched me to the whipping post and gave me Hell again.
I went back to Lynchburg I didn't go to stay
But I fell in love with a woman and I couldn't get away,
Couldn't get away boys couldn't get away
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time.
