Columbia Version
Trouble, mama, trouble, I've been havin' all of my days
When a man gets in trouble, every woman throws him down
Got a woman down in Florida, thinks the world in all of poor me
Mmmm....
Then I went upstairs, fell down 'cross my bed
Now my baby have, have done quit me, talked all out of my head
Gennett Version
When a man gets in trouble, every woman throws him down
I'm so worried, don't know what to do
I waked up this mornin', mama feelin' sad and blue
'Cause my woman had done quit me, didn't have nowhere to go
Hey, hi hi hi hi
When I'm in my good whiskey, this' the way I sing my blues
