Seth Parker's Hymnal ‎#65

65. Has Anybody Found a Trouble?

1 I had a mess of troubles
That were troubling me,
And each one was a thoroughbred,
With a great long pedigree;
But now I've gone and lost one,
I've had since infancy;
I thought my chronic trouble
Would have more loyalty.

Chorus:
Has anybody found a trouble,
The trouble that belongs to me?
It was as big a trouble,
As troubles ever grow to be;
You say you've found a small one?
One you can hardly see?
Why, that must be the trouble,
The trouble that belongs to me.

2 Don't think that I am lonesome,
'Cause no one calls on me;
I have a mess of troubles,
That are my company;
But now I find I've lost one,
I've had since infancy;
My dear old chronic trouble
Had simply ceased to be. [Chorus]
