Trouble in mind, Lord I'm blue
Honey I won't be blue always,
Sun's gonna shine in my,
Lord, shine in my back door someday.
I'm gonna lay,
Lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line,
And let the 219 train
Ease my troubled mind.
Trouble in mind
Lord I'm blue, now,
I won't be blue always
Yeah, that sun's gonna shine in my,
Lord, shine in my back door someday.
I'm goin' down,
Goin' down to the river,
I'm gonna reel on my rockin chair.
Hon', and if these blues don't leave me,
Lord, I'll have to run away from here.
Trouble in mind,
Trouble in mind, I'm blue now,
I won't be blue always,
Yeah, that sun's gonna shine in my,
Lord, shine in my back door someday
I'm all alone,
I'm alone at midnight,
The lamp is burnin low
I never had so much trouble
Darlin', in my whole life I lived before
Trouble in mind
Lord I'm blue, now,
I won't be blue always.
Yeah, that wind's gonna come,
It's gonna blow my blues away
