Here are the lyrics to: “Don’t Get Trouble In Your Mind”
Went to see my baby, standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand and her bare feet on the floor
CHORUS:
Don’t get trouble in your mind, your mind, don’t get trouble in your mind,
When you see that girl of mine, don’t get trouble in your mind.
(Fiddle break)
Went to see my baby, thought I’d do some sleepin’
Kissed her right in back of her mouth and her dog gone nose was leakin’
CHORUS:
Don’t get trouble in your mind, your mind, don’t get trouble in your mind,
When you see that girl of mine, don’t get trouble in your mind.
(Fiddle break)
When you see that gal of mine, tell her if you can,
When she goes to bake the bread wash her nasty hands.
CHORUS:
Don’t get trouble in your mind, your mind, don’t get trouble in your mind,
When you see that girl of mine, don’t get trouble in your mind.
(Fiddle)
Now she gone and left me, sure do wish her well.
Hope she got another man and she can go to …… (pig grunt sound)
CHORUS:
Don’t get trouble in your mind, your mind, don’t get trouble in your mind,
When you see that girl of mine, don’t get trouble in your mind.
(Fiddle)
Went to see Miss Suzy she’s standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand, bare feet all over the floor.
CHORUS:
Don’t get trouble in your mind, your mind, don’t get trouble in your mind,
When you see that girl of mine, don’t get trouble in your mind.
(Fiddle)
