I Had Trouble Songtext
von Robert Pete Williams

I′m gonna talk about it all

I had trouble, oh, yestidday-ee
It's somebody I ain′t never seen
Yes, I had trouble
With someone I ain't never seen

It was a woman, a woma', a woma′
She picked me up, taken me for a ride
"Oh Lord," I said, "Where you takin′ me?
Oh lady, where you takin' me?"
"I′m carryin' you to my residen′"


I say, "Is you got a husband?"
She say, "Yeah", mmmm-mmm mmmm-mmmm
Say, "You walk on in"
She set me down
"I'm gonna fix you dinner"
I say, "All right"

I say, "Lady, let me see your husband"
She told me, "I′m livin' alone"
"You told me you had a husband
You can fool me here
You can fool me here
You don't know me
Please take me back, back to my house
I′m a stranger here
I′m scared, baby
Somebody may take my life"

Mmmm, you know, I cried
The way you did, treated me
