DON'T TELL ME YOUR TROUBLES
Don Gibson

1. Don't tell me your troubles. I got troubles of my own.
Don't tell me your troubles. Just leave me alone.

CHORUS: Leave me alone. Go on home.
Tell it to a friend. I got troubles of my own.

2. You tell me that she's no good. She's mean as she can be.
It's written all over your lonesome face, any heartbreak fool can see. CHORUS

BRIDGE: It happens to the best of us. That's what they always say.
So take it, boy, like a man and don't stand in my way.

3. You say your sweet love's left you. What you think about me?
I wouldn't be sittin' here list'nin' if mine hadn't set me free. CHORUS

BREAK, REPEAT BRIDGE, VERSE 2, CHORUS.

[Recorded by Don Gibson, Ray Charles, Emile Ford, Doc Watson, and several others.]
