Heard the one about your woman
Lord, shes been messing round
Shes been stepping out on the street
Lord, shes been hanging out
Aint nobody had her this week but it wont take long
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
And I hope it wont mess with me
Walking downtown the other day
A man put a gun in my back
Give me all youve got or Ill blow you away
Thats a fact, jack
Woe me, misery, too much been going down
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
And I hope it wont mess with me
Catch the next train out of here
Goodbye, Ill see you, so long
Time was I could face it here
That was a long time ago
Ill leave you very low, next time you wont see me at all
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city
And I hope it wont mess with me
