Trouble Man (Live 1974)

[Intro]
Ow
Woo
Ow, ow

[Verse 1]
I come up hard, baby
But now I'm cool
I didn’t make it, sugar
Playin' by the rules
I come up hard, baby
But now I'm fine
I’m checkin' trouble, sugar
Movin' down the line
I come up hard
That's okay
Trouble man
Don't get in my way

[Bridge]
I come up hard
I'm in for real, baby, the trouble life
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna go to town
I come up hard
I come up, gettin' down
There’s only three things
That’s for sure
Taxes, death, and trouble, woo

This I know, man, is
This I know, sugar, woo
Ain't gon’ let it sweat me, baby
OW, not me, baby
Woo, ah, ooh

[Verse 2]
Come up hard
I had to fight
Took care of my business, sugar
Wit' all my might
I come up hard
And I had to win
Then start all over
And win again
I come up hard, baby
But that's okay, 'cause
Trouble man
Don’t get in my way, baby, woo

[Bridge]
I come up hard, ah baby
I be for real, sugar
In these troubled times
Gonna keep movin'
Gonna go to town
I come up hard, I come up gettin' down
Oh, there's three things for sure
Taxes, death, and trouble

Oh, this I know, oh baby
This I know, baby
No, ain't gon' let it sweat me, baby, woo
Lord have mercy, woo
Woo, alright, baby, I got somethin', ow

I come up hard, baby
I be for real
With the trouble minds
Gon' keep movin', goin' to town

I come up hard
I come up, gettin' down
There's only three things that's for sure
Taxes, death and trouble
This I know
Ain't gonna let it sweat me, baby, woo
I'ma play a little bit right here
Woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Ow., I come up hard, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby
I had the pot, baby, I had the stash
I had the scratch, I had to, oh, get out and get it
It was alright, baby, oh, yes, it was, ow, ah, woo
Ah baby, I know what no one knows, yes, I did, woo
Nobody tried to help me, sugar
I had to scratch on my own, baby
Nobody tried to do it no more, life was hard
