This is about life,man i been down that road. (But God) we have 2 go through somethings so we can be thankful when He bless us. I have been truly bless thank you 4 posting this song.
I've always loved his singing; and have purchased many of Clarence Carters' 45rpms, and wore them out; but is just hearing of this song for the first time. Interesting.
It's shame this was never re-issues a million times.... together with its B-Side "Take it off him & leave it on me". I am just so glad I digitized all my 45s and LPs.
Thank you so much for posting this song: I've been looking for it since 1974! Apparently, Clarence Carter did not find it worthy enough to print it again after the original 45 rpm version came out. You can't find it anywhere, no CD version. Thank you! As far as I'm concerned, this is the best of Clarence Carter and one of the best Soul Music ever sung...

Clarence Carter - The Few Troubles I’ve Had
Ré-do La-Ré--Do Mi-Ré Do Mi--Ré! Ré-do La-Ré--Do Mi-Ré Do Mi--Sol-Sol!
Now some of y’all I know I told this story to before
But to all of you that I never got a chance to tell it to
I want to tell you something that happened to me back in January of 1964
Well you see, I was sitting down in my house in Montgomery, Alabama
And I got a letter in the mail,
The man told me that if I didn’t have my rent in the office by five o’clock
I was gonna have to get outdoors
I’m just going to tell you all about the few troubles I’ve had, that’s all
The paper boy came and he brought me my morning paper
And I took it and went inside to take a look at the headlines
And you know when I turned on my lamp I found the man just turned my electricity off?!
Ha-ha, ha-ha! I was just going to tell you all about the few troubles I’ve had, that’s all
Late upon the evening it was beginning to get a little cold outside
I went ahead and light my heater. And that’s when I found out the man then turned my gas off too!
Ha-ha children, let me tell you about the few troubles I had
The only girl I ever loved in my whole life called me on the telephone
She said Clarence, lend me tomorrow five dollars
You know I didn’t have but fifty cents to my name,
Even a hole in it, so she put me down
Oh children, let me tell you about the few troubles I had
You know, I didn’t have but two eggs in my house to eat for my breakfast the next morning
The old cat jumped upon the table and knocked them off and now they’re gone
Oh children, much troubles came that day
So I just got down my old guitar and decided to sing myself a song
I wanted to sing something children that was going to satisfy my soul
So while I was sitting there, thinking about all my troubles,
Words like these came to my mind
I said Lord, why did you make me, yeah, why?
I gotta laugh, and I gotta cry
I gotta live, oh I gotta die
I just, I just keep,
I just keep having my troubles y’all
Oh when your troubles come,
It seems like they come home…

My favorite song. I translated it into Japanese.
この中の 三人（みたり）四人（よたり）に 語りしか 皆には未（いま）だ 折りなくて 言わず置きにし 言の葉を 語らばや今 その昔 ふるさとに居し 時のこと 家主に銭を 日のうちに 払はずはすぐ 追ひ出さむと おどされにけり いささかの 我が憂き目をば 語らはむ そればかりぞよ 朝まだき ほのぐらき時 物見むと 油をさがせば しこ家主 計らひぬらし いつしかも 盗まれにけり いささかの 我が憂き目をば 語らはむ そればかりぞよ 夕さりて 冷えゆく風に 火たかむと 薪をさがせば しこ家主 計らひぬらし いつしかも 盗まれにけり いささかの 我が憂き目をば 語らはむ そればかりぞよ この世にて ただ一人のみ 思へりし 我妹子（わぎもこ）よりぞ 文（ふみ）ありし そに言ふことは 銭わずか しばし借らむと されど我れ わづかだになし されば妹（いも） 我（わ）を捨ててけり いささかの 我が憂き目をば 語らはむ そればかりぞよ 次の朝 我れに残るは ただ二つ 卵ばかりぞ 他は無き その卵をば 古き猫 踏みつぶしゆき 今は無し 我が憂き目ども その日にぞ 集まりにける さてされば 琵琶取り出（いだ）し 我がために 歌うたはむと 思ひけり 我が魂を なぐさむる ことをばせむと そこに居て すべての憂き目に 思ひ入る うちに言の葉 我が胸に 浮かび来たりぬ 次のごとかく
「天（あま）つ神 何しかも我（わ）を 人にせし 笑ひ泣き生き 死ぬべき人に」

An don't broke your daddy's 45.
Clarence Ashe version is better- there is more heartache in his voice
Terrible visuals! What did young Clarence ever do to you to deserve this? Ugh.
Yes I was wondering the same !
