The whole world looks bad when your sweetheart is gone.
Sarah Milonovich does an awesome job on the traditional tune Liberty. I had a real hard time keeping up on the guitar, but the whole thing turned out just fine in the end.
Lyrics
Trouble © 2023 David Coller (ASCAP)
Chorus Trouble in the country, trouble in the town
Trouble on the ocean, trouble all around
Trouble in the parlor, trouble in the hall
Trouble with my heart strings
And that’s the worst of all
And that’s the worst of all
If I had a million dollars, I’ll tell you what I’d do
I’d buy myself an airship and fly it home to you
Fly over the mountains, fly over the plains
Fly around your back door and win your heart again
And win your heart again
Oh if I had a hundred greenback dollar bills
I’d climb aboard that Greyhound and ride it with a will
Ride it through the night-time and right on through the day
Ride it till I find you or ride my life away
Or ride my life away
Chorus
If I had a silver dollar and some walkin’ shoes
I’d buy myself a walkin’ cane and walk on home to you
But I don’t have no silver dollar, I don’t have a dime
Just walkin’ round this city with trouble on my mind
With trouble on my mind
Oh love’s a lucky penny, a-rollin’ down the street
You’ll chase it under parked cars and under people’s feet
Chase it down to China, chase it to the moon
Chase it till you’re old and gray and then you’ll sing this tune
Chorus
Fiddle Tune: Liberty
