High on the mountain stands a boat But are they gods or real folk? We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke Who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke? Night after night I don't believe We are the ones you won't deceive Not a thing will you achieve 'cos we belong and we won't leave Trouble, trouble I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me Trouble, trouble Trouble with a capital T Lay down your silver and your gold I'm a man who can't be sold And, even when my heart grows cold I'll curse your evil stranglehold The waves are running much too high It's got so dark can't see the sky But a change is coming by and by A time to laugh, a time to die Trouble, trouble I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me Trouble, trouble Trouble with a capital T Been so long away from home I almost made this place my own Now it seems I'll soon be gone Moving on and all alone High on the mountain stands a boat But are they gods or real folk? We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke Who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke? Trouble, trouble I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me Trouble, trouble Trouble with a capital T Trouble, trouble I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me Trouble, trouble Trouble with a capital T
