Rub-Alcohol Blues Lyrics

Troubles up and down the road

And trials all the way around

Never knew what trouble was

Till my honey threw me down



With nothing but old ragged clothes

My heartstrings broken to shreds

Blues creeping over my body

Queer notions flying in my head



The easiest thing I ever done

Was loving and drinking wine

The hardest thing I ever done

Was paying off a judge's fine



I've never worked for pleasure

Peace on earth I cannot find

The only thing I surely own

Is a worried and troubled mind



If men and wine don't kill me

There's one more plan to find

Soak up all the old rub alcohol

Ease all trouble off my mind
