Lyrics

1. DOUBLE TROUBLE

Eleven times i been busted, eleven times i been to jail
Some of the times i been there nobody could go my bail
Well it seems to me, lord that this ol' boy just don't fit
Well i can jump in a rosebush and come out smelling like sssh...

Those misters 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]
Double trouble - that's what my friends all call me
(Double trouble)
I said, double trouble
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 doin' 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

[Chorus]


2. ROLL GYPSY ROLL

Ridin' on a greyhound, countin' those white lines
Destination i don't know and i'm feelin' like I'm dyin'
Well ten years on this road, my its took its toll
But the man with the plan says the band has got to go
I said roll gypsy roll
Lord just pick up your bags and go

Met many a woman on my way down the line
Every woman that i met i left satisfied
I made lots of money, just how much i don't know
But most of the money i done stuck up my nose
I said roll gypsy roll
Lord just pick up your bags and go

Gypsy's life's a story and its one that's never told
He's always hungry, he's always on the go
With no tomorrow, its how it seems to be
When you're moving around from town to town

Made lots of money just how much i don't know
But most of the money i done stuck up my nose
And maybe that's the reason i don't know where I'm going
I don't know
