Ishman Bracey Trouble Hearted Blues Lyrics

Down so long, down don't worry me
I been down so long, Lord, down don't worry me

Don't b'lieve I'm sinking, see what a hole I'm in
You don't b'lieve I love you, Lord, think what a fool
I've been

Went to the graveyard, fell down on my knees
Hollered, "Lord have mercy from this lonesome place."

Went to the graveyard, peeped in my rider's face
Says, "I love you rider, Lord, just can't take your
place."

Thousand people (sp. Lord have mercy!) 'round the burying ground
Just to see them won't you, Lord, let my rider down

Felt so sorry (sp. Rock, Church, Rock!) 'til they let
her down
Lord, my heart struck sorrow, tears come rolling down

Tell me, mama, (sp. unnh, unnh, unnh) what's the
matter now?
Tryin' to quit your daddy, Lord, and you don't know
how

Tell me mama, on your worried mind
Times don't get no better, mama, babe I'm gwine, I'm
gwine
