Trouble in mind, I'm blue   But I won't be blue always   'Cause the sun's gonna shine   Round my back door someday      I'm going down to the river   I'm gonna 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 the sun's 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 the sun's gonna shine   In my back door someday
