Lord knows I try, to do what's right
One whole long year I stayed home both day and night
'Cause I smell-a, hmmm, trouble, way over yonder way
up there ahead of me
Yes, worries and troubles, Lord, they just won't let
me be
People talk about me, both night and day
I said, 'Lord, please forgive them and go the other
way'
'Cause I smell-a, hmmm, trouble, Lord, I smell trouble
ahead of me
Yes, worries and troubles, Lord, they just won't let
me be
And from now on, I will not run and hide
I'll face trouble with s smile, and hope it pass me
by
'Cause I smell-a, hmmm, trouble, way over yonder way
up there ahead of me
Yes, worries and troubles, they just won't, they just
won't, they just won't let me be
Oh yeah
