Troubled 'bout My Mother Songtext
von Charley Patton

I wonder where my mother, Lordie
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordie
Shining round the throne

Lord I′m troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

I wonder where my father, Lordie
I wonder where he′s gone
Now he′s up in the Kingdom, Lordie
Shining round the throne

Oh Daniel he was troubled, Lordie
He prayed three times a day
The lions hushed in wonder, Lordie
To hear what Daniel had to say


Lord I'm troubled Lord I′m troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

Oh Jesus he was troubled, Lordie
Out on the desert sea
Then the boat was lying, Lordie
The wind had slowed and eased

Lord I′m troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordie
I won′t be troubled any more

I wonder where my mother, Lordie
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordie
Shining round the throne

Lord I′m troubled Lord I′m troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom, Lordie
I won't be troubled any more


I wonder where my sister, Lordie
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordie
Shining round the throne

I wonder where my mother, Lordie
I wonder where she′s gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom, Lordie
She won′t be troubled any more
