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
