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

No 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
Oh soak up all the old rub alcohol
Ease all trouble off my mind
Oh ease all trouble off my mind
My mind, my mind
