Ole Man Trouble (Booker T. Jones)


there's a man
you know they call trouble
and he follows me everywhere i go
you know ole man trouble
he can't get me now cos i know
mr charlie yeah
you know i worked hard for you
ah but you're mean to me
just as mean as you can be
you and ole man trouble
you can't get me now
cos my mind is free
and my pockets, lord
you know they're so empty
i got no place to lay my weary head
rather leave all my troubles
and let the green green grass be my bed
and i get what i need
and i need what i get
and there never ain't nothing that i didn't need yet
so ole man trouble
(oh it doesn't matter about what i want
do y'all get what i'm saying)
cos my heart is in my song
m' song blowing in the breeze
ole man trouble
you can't get me now
cos my mind is free
and i got a love for the life i live
and i gotta need yeah what i got to give
so goodbye
oo, goodbye
i got no need for ya
ole man trouble

ole man trouble, trouble, goodbye





Old Man Trouble



I met you in the strangest way
Into a night of crazy smiling faces
Had it been another day, the sound of a
thousand voices wailing dismay
Having seen no other way
We looked at each other once
And felt the love begin, love begin

'Cause you know there's a ring of
love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could
touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to
make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow

The world is ours if we can cope
We don't have to lose the faith
Find more similar lyrics on
That gave us this much hope
Let us blow with the wind
To seek out the fountain of life
And all its miracles, its miracles

'Cause you know there's a ring of
love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
All the way
I've never met anyone ever could
touch me so all the way
You know you're the first one to
make me believe in something
People are full of lies
Always willing to compromise
Their love and their tomorrow
Such a sorrow, sorrow

'Cause you know there's a ring of
love surrounding you and me
Ring of love in perfect harmony
Ring of love surrounding you and me
