Am
Eleven times I've been busted,
eleven times I've been to jail.
Some of the times I've been there
nobody would go my bail.
Dm
Well, it seems to me, Lord,
                         Am
this old boy just don't fit.
               E
Well, I could jump in a rose bush,
Dm
come out smellin' like.

Those men that dressed in blue
never done so right by me.
Some of the times I was innocent,
but the judge said guilty
I'm not one to complain,
now son I tell you true
When the black cat cross your trail, Lord
It comes in misery; times two

Chorus:
Dm
Double trouble,
                                 Am
that's what my friends all call me.
         E             Dm
I'm just double trouble.
            Am
T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well I was born down in the gutter
With a temper as hot as fire
Spent ninety days on a peat farm,
just doing the county's time
Well now, even mama said,
"Son you're bad news
And it won't be too long before
someone puts one through you"
