Trouble in mind, and I'm blue

Oh you know I won't be blue always

You know the sun is gonna shine in my back door some day



I'm going down to the river

Oh you know I'm gonna sit right down right down there, on the ground

You know if I get to thinkin' about my baby, I wanna jump overboard and drown



Well I'm going back to Jackson

Oh you know to my old Jackson, Tennessee

Where you know your girls ain't doin' nothin' but makin' a fool of me



Well I'm going down to the railroad

Oh you know I'm gonna lay my head right down on the railroad iron

I'm gonna let the two-nineteen ease my worried mind
