D                             G           D
A meeting is a pleasure and a parting is grief
                          A7              D
But a false hearted lover is worse than a thief
                            G             D
A thief can but rob you and take what you save
                               A7          D
But a false hearted lover take you to your grave


[Chorus]
D                              G           D
I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm troubled in mind
                         A7               D
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time


[Verse 2]
D                           G           D
A grave will decay you and turn you to dust
                                 A7           D
Ain't a girl in a million that a poor boy can trust
                             G             D
They'll hug you, they'll kiss you, they'll tell you more lies
                                 A7              D
Than the crossties on the railroad or stars in the sky


[Chorus]
D                              G           D
I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm troubled in mind
                         A7               D
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time


[Verse 3]
D                     G            D
I'm going to Georgia I'm going to roam
                        A7         D
I'm going to Georgia to make it my home
                            G            D
Gonna build me a cabin on a mountain so high
                                          A7              D
Where the wild birds and the turtle doves can hear my sad cry


[Chorus]
D                              G           D
I'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm troubled in mind
                         A7               D
If trouble don't kill me I'll live a long time
