Don't Trouble

THERE'S a saying old and rusty, But as good as any new; 'Tis, “Never trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you.”
Don't you borrow sorrow; You'll surely have your share; He who dreams of sorrow Will find that sorrow's there.
If care you've got to carry, Wait till 'tis at the door; For he who runs to meet it Takes up the load before.
If minding will not mend it, Then better not to mind; The best thing is to end it; Just leave it all behind.
Then don't you trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you. You'll only double trouble, And trouble others too.
