Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day

Trouble in mind, yes it's true
I almost lost my mind
Ain't never had so much trouble
In my life before
Oh, yeah

I'm going down to the river
Gonna take my easy chair
And if the blues don't get me
Gone a rock away from me

I'm all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin' low
I ain't never had so much
Trouble in my life before

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the 2: 19 train ease my troubled mind

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine
On my backdoor someday
