Trouble (With a Capital T)

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

'cos 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
