Subject: So You Think You've Got Troubles; by Marvin Rainwater; Grandpa Jones
Hi Y'all,
Sheila Allen asked for a song her dad sang to her - "Build me a bar in the
back of my car and drive myself to drink.' I don't know if this is it, but
the tag fits that line. I believe Marvin Rainwater recorded this, and
perhaps Grandpa Jones. If anyone needs help with the Nashville Numbering
System, see my explanation (and others) at
Cowpie/Resources/Lessons/NashvilleNumberSystem3. If this doesn't do it,
email me at [email protected].
[If this is the right song, Sheila, I have stumbled on some more words that
work with it. Let me know if you'd like them.]

SO YOU THINK YOUVE GOT TROUBLES
Recorded by: Marvin Rainwater; Grandpa Jones
Submitted by: Tom Rivers
(Chorus)
(Sing) SO YOU THINK YOUVE GOT TROUBLES,
THE MORE YOU TRY THE WORSE THEY GET
SO YOU THINK YOUVE GOT TROUBLES
WELL, BROTHER, YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET
(Verse 1)
(Recite) NOW MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD TIN CAN
MY WIFE RAN OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN
I SPRAINED THE MUSCLE IN MY FISHIN HAND
AND MY INCOME TAX IS DUE
I LOST MY MONEY IN A POKER GAME
AND NOW MY LEFT LEGS GOIN LAME
MY BROTHER ASKED ME IF ID CHANGE MY NAME
AND I GUESS THATS WHAT ILL DO
(Verse 2)
(Recite) MY DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO SMOKE
DRINK NOTHIN STRONGER THAN A COKE
I CANT EVEN LISTEN TO A DIRTY JOKE
CAUSE ILL LAUGH AND STRAIN MY HEART
IVE HAD EVERY AILMENT KNOWN TO MAN
FROM AFRICAN MUMPS TO DISHPAN HANDS
I LOST EVERY RACE THAT I EVER RAN
I NEVER EVEN HAD A START
(Verse 3)
(Recite) NOW SOME PEOPLE CALL ME A PESSIMIST
THEY SAY I OUGHTA MAKE THE BEST OF THIS
WELL MAYBE I AM A PESSIMIST
THATS ONE THING I WOULDNT KNOW
BUT ONE THING I DO KNOW, ILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW
IM MILKIN THE WRONG END OF THIS HERE COW
THERES TOO MANY WRINKLES IN THIS BOYS BROW
AND THATS STUFFS JUST GOTTA GO.
(Tag)
(Recite) GONNA PUT A BAR IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAR AND DRIVE MYSELF TO DRINK.
(Chorus)
