When I was just a little bitty trash heap
Mama told me Child there's something you should know (you should know):
Everybody's got to have a special dream that they can dream
That means troubles that means pain that means woe woe woe
That means troubles that means pain that means woe woe woe
Now I've lived some and I've learned some
But my mama told me all I need to know (need to know):
Everybody that I meet just seems to make my life complete
Bring me troubles bring me pain they bring me woe woe woe
They bring me troubles bring me pain they bring me woe woe woe
First they lay down their heavy burden (heavy burden)
Then I show them what to do and where to go (where to go)
Well I'm a lucky lucky girl
I'm like a swine before a pearl
I see troubles I see pain I see woe woe woe
I see troubles I see pain I see woe woe woe
Oh gimme your troubles
Give me your pa-a-in
Give me your wo-o-oe woe woe woe woe woe
