lyrics

Tommy aint seen no road sign for forty miles or more
Walkin' past that old farm house he heard that slammin' door
He wasn't lookin' for trouble, trouble don't look for him no more

Out ran little Molly, a tear were in her eye
Her white dress stained with red and a pistol by her side
He wasn't looking for trouble, trouble just caught him by surprise

She'd shot her man for cheatin' for year's he'd done her wrong
Tommy held her in his arms and lord it wasn't long
He wasn't lookin' for trouble but she sand him this sweet song

Give up your resistin' and lay with me a while
I'll give you what you're wantin' if you can make me smile

In the mornin' came ol' John Law to take poor Molly away
Tommy wouldn't see her go; "I shot that man" he said
He wasn't looking for trouble but trouble had caught him dead

Next came Tommy's trial and the judge said with a grim
"Well if he's confessin' then I reckon it was him"
He wasn't looking for trouble, trouble just blew in on the wind

Then came Tommy's sentence with the gallow's standing tall
Hangman lit a cigarette and let that trap door fall
He wasn't looking for trouble but he heard that devil call

Give up your resistin' and play for me a while
I'll give you what you're wantin' if you can make me smile

Tommy aint seen no road sign for forty miles or more
Walkin' past that old farm house he heard that slammin' door
He wasn't lookin' for trouble, trouble don't look for him no more
