Double Trouble Lyrics

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Eleven times I've been busted, 
eleven times I've been to jail.
Some of the times I've been there 
nobody would go my bail.
Well, it seems to me, Lord, 
this old boy just don't fit.
Well, I could jump in a rose bush, 
come out smellin' like --

Those men that dressed in blue 
never done so right by me.
Some of the times I was innocent 
but the judge said guilty.
Well, I'm not one to complain, 
son, I tell you true. TELL THE TRUTH NOW, TELL THE TRUTH
When a black cat crosssed my tail, Lord,
now they come in pairs of two. MISERY TIMES TWO

   Double trouble, 
   that's what my friends all call me. DOUBLE TROUBLE DOUBLE TROUBLE
   I'm just double trouble.
   T-R-O-U-B-L-E  DOUBLE TROUBLE

I was born down in the gutter
with a temper hot as fire.
Spent ninety days on a pea farm
just doin' the county's time.
Well now, even mama says,
son, you're bad news. BORN TO LOSE
And it won't be too long
'fore someone puts one through you.

   Double trouble, 
   that's what my friends all call me. DOUBLE TROUBLE DOUBLE TROUBLE
   I'm just double trouble.
   T-R-O-U-B-L-E  DOUBLE TROUBLE

   Double trouble, 
   that's what my friends all call me. DOUBLE TROUBLE DOUBLE TROUBLE
   I'm just double trouble.
   T-R-O-U-B-L-E

   DOUBLE TROUBLE 
   DOUBLE TROUBLE
   DOUBLE TROUBLE 
   DOUBLE TROUBLE...
