clarence ashe - trouble i've had lyrics

Loading...

some of you all, i know
i told this story to before
but those of you that haven’t
heard me tell this story
i just wanna tell you about
a little trouble i had, that’s all

you know i woke up
early one morning, children
but before i go any further
i just wanna tell you that
i didn’t have but two eggs
for my breakfast that morning

and, children, the cat had
to jump up on the table
and knock them off
and now they’re gone

but i did have a strip of bacon
in the icebox, children
but when i switched on my gas
i found the man had cut my gas off

just then, i went to my front door
and picked up my newspaper
and when i sit down in
my old easy chair, children
when i switched on the lights
i found the man had cut
my lights off too

just then, i felt so bad
i just wanted to take
me a little ride
and i went outside and
got in my 1938 cadillac
and i turned the corner, children
and my car gave out of gas
and i had to walk right back home

but just as i was walking
through my front door
i heard the phone when it rang
and the only girl in the world
that i ever loved, children
called me and said, clarence
i want you to loan me five dollars

but, lord, it hurt me so bad
when i had to tell her that
i didn’t have but fifty cents
to my name and it had a hold on it
and she put me down

then, children, about twelve noon
i got a letter in the mail
and it said that if i didn’t have
my rent in by five o’clock
i was gonna have to get outdoors

and, lord, i felt so bad then
that i just wanted to sit down
and sing me a song
i guess i woulda sang a song
children, i guess i woulda sang a
song that i had never sang
before in my whole life

i guess i woulda sang
part time love if johnny taylor
hadn’t recorded it at that time
the i guess i woulda sang
i need to belong to someone
but jerry butler had recorded
his at that time

but as i was thinking, children
i couldn’t help but feel the tears
when they ran down my eyes

i said, oh, oh, oh
why do i have so much trouble
i got to work so hard every day
slave for my woman…
