Oh, give me trouble no more.

 

Now, you keep on bettin' that the dice won't pass.

Well, I know, and I know, whoa, you're livin' too fast.

Someday baby, you aint gonna trouble poor me, anymore.

You're a kind little woman, but you don't do me no good.

But someday baby, you aint gonna trouble poor me, anymore.

Oh, no!

I know you're leaving, if you call that gone.

Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble poor me, anymore.

Lord, no, baby.  Ah, yeah!

Lord, take my hand.  I don't want no woman, no,

Who can't have no man.

But someday,y baby, you ain't gonna trouble poor me, anymore.

Lord, no, baby.  No trouble no more.  Oh, yeah...
