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'.
