What's wrong, dear brother? Have you lost your faith? 
Don't you remember a better place? 
Needles and things, done you in 
Like the setting sun 
Oh, dear brother, trouble weighs a ton 

What's wrong, dear sister? Did your world fall down? 
Men misuse you and push you around 
Same story dear, year after year 
Faith [bad word] 
Oh, dear sister, trouble weighs a ton 

Trouble in the air 
Trouble all I see 
Does anybody care 
Trouble killin' me 
Whoa, it's killin' me 

What's wrong, dear mother? Has your child disobeyed? 
Left you hurtin' in so many ways 
What once was sweet, the sorrow and greet 
Cannot be undone 
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton 
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
