Troubled 'Bout My Mother Songtext
von Charley Patton & Bertha Lee

I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne

Lord I′m troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more

I wonder where my father, Lordy
I wonder where he′s gone
Now he′s up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne

Oh Daniel he was troubled, Lordy
He prayed three times a day
The angels heist the window, Lordy
To hear what Daniel had to say


Lord I'm troubled, Lord I′m troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more

Oh David he was troubled, Lordy Lord
Out on the desert, see
And then he killed Goliath, Lordy
To win his gold and sheep

Lord I′m troubled, Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won′t be troubled any more

I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne

Lord I′m troubled, Lord I′m troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordy
I won't be troubled any more


I wonder where my sister, Lordy
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
Shining round the throne

I wonder where my mother, Lordy
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordy
She won′t be troubled any more
