[C] [G]
Once I had an old banjo, it was [C] strung with twine.
The [D] only [G] song that I could sing was Trouble on my Mind.

I went down to Lynchburg to fetch me a [C] bottle of wine.
They [E] hitched me [G] to that whipping post that gave me 99.
Boys gave me 99, boys gave me 99, boys gave me 99.
I went back to Lynchburg to [C#] fetch me [C] a bottle of gin.
They [D] hitched me [G] to that whipping post that gave me hell again.
Boys gave me hell again, gave me hell again, boys gave me hell again.
[C]
[G]
It's raining, it's hailing, it's snowing from the [C] sky.
If I don't get my true love, I reckon I will die.
I reckon I will die, boys, reckon I will die.

It's trouble, trouble, trouble [C] on my mind.
