Trouble in Mind

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 all alone at midnight

And my lamp is burnin' low

Ain't never had so much

Trouble in my life before.

Trouble in mind, that's true

I have almost lost my mind,

Life ain't worth livin,

Sometimes I feel like dyin'.

Goin' down to the river

Gonna take my ol' rockin' chair

And if the blues don't leave me

I'll rock away from there.

You been a hard-hearted mama

Great god! you been unkind

Gonna be a cold, cold papa

Cause you to lose your mind.

I'm gonna lay my head down

On some lonesome railroad line

And let the two nineteen

Pacify my mind.

Well it's trouble, oh trouble

Trouble on my worried mind,

When you see me laughin'

I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'.
