A load of trouble come a’heapin’ down the line / One after the other, they happen all the time / A load of trouble come a’heapin’ down the line, down the line
The first one hits your heart, and the second one hits your brain / The third one hits your thinking, and you think you’ll go insane / A load of trouble come heapin’ down the line
A load of trouble . . .
The next one hits your body, and then you’re always tired / The next one hits your job, and before long you’ll get fired / A load of trouble come heapin’ down the line
A load of trouble . . .
I hear they took your tent away; I hear they took your bag / I hear they took your drinking cup and took away your rag /A load of trouble come heapin’ down the line
A load of trouble . . .
Did they take the innocence, the sweetness of your soul? / Did they take your smile that could turn the world to gold? / A load of trouble come heapin’ down the line
A load of trouble . . . .
