Trouble in mind; I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Because the sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday
I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19
Pass through my worried mind
Trouble in mind; I'm blue
And I've almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin'
Sometimes I feel like dyin'
I'm going down to the river
I'm going to buy me a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me
I'm goin' to rock away from here
Trouble in mind; I'm blue
My ol' heart is a beating slow
I never had so much trouble
In my life before
My good gal, she's gone to Sydney
And it sure did grieve my mind
When you see me laughing
I'm just a trying to keep from cryin'
Trouble in mind...
