Junior Wells – Five Long Years Lyrics

Blues

Lord knows I've tried to do what's right
Five long years every Friday, I come home, all of my pay

I smell-a uh huh trouble
Way over yonder, way up ahead of me
Lord, worries and trouble
Oh, they just won't let me be
(Pick up, baby, heh heh)

People talks about me both day and night
I said "Lord, please forgive 'em, go on your merry way"

I smell-a uh huh trouble
Way over yonder, way up ahead of me
Lord, worries and trouble
Oh, they just won't let me be
(Ah, pick me a little blues, baby, get it)

That's Brother Buddy Guy's solo
Hey!

And from now on, I will not run and hide
I'll face trouble with a smile
Lord, it passed me by

I smell-a uh huh trouble
Way over yonder, way up ahead of me
Lord, worries and trouble
Lord, they just won't, they just won't, they just won't, heh heh
Let me be, well
