Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day
I'm gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen train
Pacify my mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
I have almost lost my mind
But I ain't feel like living
Cause sometimes I feel like dying
I'm going down to the river
Gonna take my old rocking chair
And if the blues don't quit me
I'll rock away from there
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My old heart is beating slow
Lord, I've never seen
So much trouble in my life before
My good gal's done quit me
And it sure does grind my mind
So when you see me laughing
I'm laughing just to keep from crying
