Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm going down to the river
I'm going top take me a rocking chair
And if the blues don't leave me, I rock on away from here
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Trouble in mind, that's true
I have almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth living, I feel like I could die
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My poor heart is healing slow
I've never had such trouble in my whole life before
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19 special ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
