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
'Cause 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
