dock boggs - old rub alcohol blues lyrics

Loading...

troubles up and down these roads
and trials all the way around
never knew what trouble was
’til my darling threw me down

with nothing but old ragged clothes
my heartstrings broken to shreds
blues were creeping over my body
queer notions flying through my head

if ever i meet that girl again
her troubles will all be o’er
i’ll steal her out away from home
we will sail for some foreign sh0r-

when my worldly trials are over
and my last goodbye i’ve said
bury me near my darling’s doorstep
where the roses bloom and fade

my pockets are all empty
like they’ve often been before
if ever i reach my home again
i’ll walk these ties no more

the easiest thing i ever done
was lovin’ and drinking wine
the hardest thing i ever done
was working out a judge’s fine

the cheapest thing i ever done
was sleeping out amongst the pines
the hardest thing i ever tried
was keeping pork chops off of my mind

i’ve never worked for pleasure
peace on earth i cannot find
the only thing i surely own
is a worried and troubled mind

if wine and women don’t k!ll me
there’s one more plan to find:
soak up the old rub alcohol
get these troubles all off of my mind

when my worldly trials are over
and my last goodbye i’ve said
bury me near my darling’s doorstep
where the roses bloom and fade
