There was trouble in the lo-owlands tonight.

I got up one morning, 
I couldn't even get out of my door.
I got up one morning, 
I couldn't even get out of my door.
There was enough trouble, 
To make a poor boy wonder where to go.

I went and stood up, 
On a high old lonesome hill.
I went and stood up, 
On a high old lonesome hill.
I did all I could to look down. 
On the house where I used to live.

It thundered and lighteninged, 
And the wind began to blow.
It thundered and lighteninged, 
And the wind began to blow.
There were thousands of poor people, 
Didn't have no place to go.
