There's a fork up ahead
In the trail
Near a log
To the left of a cypress tree

And some say
If you take the next fork further
The swamp's left a sight to see

Sittin' on the porch
Of an old log cabin
With a hound dog for company

Is the beat up shell
Of a fella that the folks
'Round here call Trouble Lee

(chorus)
Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..He's got his head
Half in the bottle
Half out of the bottle
Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..
Lost half his song
(end chorus)

Way back when
Folks called him Jim
and he lived respectably

The girls in town
Had their eyes on Trouble
but he only saw one thing

The youngest daughter
Of the Coleman family
A girl named Chastity

So he bought her a house
Put a ring on her finger
And they both lived happily

(chorus)
Ohh..He'd found his song
Ohh..So he put a
Ring on her finger
Cuz man she was a keeper
Ohh..Found his song
Ohhh..
(end chorus)

He was working hard
But his wife got bored
And lent her name some irony

Let the next door neighbor
In her first floor window
He was in and out repeatedly

The were under the covers
Getting into each other
When Trouble happened on the scene

He got a gun from the den
And shot them both dead
With tears rolling down his cheeks

(chorus)
Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..
Came upon his lover
In bed with another (OW!!)
Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..
Lost half his song

Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..He's got his head
Half in the bottle
Half out of the bottle
Ohh..He lost half his song
Ohh..
He lost half his song
He lost half his song

He lost half his song
He lost half his song
He lost half his song
