Here are the lyrics to: “Don’t Get Trouble In Your Mind”
Days are breaking, breaking in my heart
Think I am a poor boy, I got an old sweetheart
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
I went to see that girl of mine get my business right
She said you are the meanest boy that ever lived or died
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
Again I went to see that girl I said I love her some
Put her arms around me like a grapevine around a gum
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
Oh if you see that gal of mine something you must tell her
She don't like my way of doin' to get some other feller
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
Oh if you see that gal of mine tell her if you can
If she goes to make her bread to wash her nasty hands
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
Last time I seen the girl she's standin' in the door
Johnny's arms around her and a baby on the floor
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
Trouble, trouble, trouble in my mind
If trouble don't kill me, I'm sure I'll live or die
Don't get trouble in your mind, don't get trouble in your mind
