I Had Trouble

I Had Trouble

...(I'm gonna talk about it all.)...

I had trouble, oh, yestidday-ee
It's somebody I ain't never seen
Yes, I had trouble
With someone I ain't never seen

It was a woman, a woma', a woma'
She picked me up, taken me for a ride
"Oh Lord," I said, "Where you takin' me?
Oh lady, where you takin' me?"
"I'm carryin' you to my residen'."

I say, "Is you got a husband?"
She say, "Yeah." mmmm-mmm mmmm-mmmm
Say, "You walk on in."
She set me down
"I'm gonna fix you dinner."
I say, "All right."

I say, "Lady, let me see your husband."
She told me, "I'm livin' alone."
"You told me you had a husband.
You can fool me here. You can fool me here.
You don't know me.
Please take me back--back to my house.
I'm a stranger here. I'm scared, baby.
Somebody may take my life."

Mmmm, you know, I cried.
The way you did, treated me.
