Trouble in mind, I'm blue,

But I won't be blue always

The sun will shine

In my back door some day.

Trouble in mind, that's true,

I have almost lost my mind.

Life ain't worth living,

Sometimes I feel like dying.

I'm gonna lay my head

On some lonesome railroad line,

Let the 2:19 train

Ease my trouble in mind.

Trouble, oh trouble

Trouble's on your worried mind.

When you see me laughing, baby,

I'm laughing just to keep from crying.

I'm going down to the river

I'm gonna take my old rocking chair

And if those blues overtake me,

I'm gonna rock on away from there.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,

My poor heart is beating slow.

Never had no trouble

In my life before.

Never had no trouble

In my life before.
