There's a train a comin' on down the line and when I catch her, I'll say goodbye
Fare thee well, adios, oh troubled mind, oh troubled mind
And when I shake, oh when I burn, that river's the only thing to drown the hurt
Goodbye, adios, oh troubled mind, oh troubled mind
Lay shaking in a bed of dirt, oh one day life's gonna dry my thirst,
You will be gone, long gone, oh troubled mind, oh troubled mind
And when I love it's a tainted thing, oh ain't no rose and diamond ring,
It's a bottle and a gun and a troubled mind, a troubled mind
Hang to rope and sorrow long enough to leave my feet a swinging oh you called my bluff
and I said "Goodbye" oh, troubled mind, oh troubled mind
When I caught that train that took me away, oh I knew the price that I'd one day pay
It's a sad goodbye, oh troubled mind, oh troubled mind
If you follow me, I will surely die with pockets empty and teary eyes
Goodbye's the only way in my troubled mind, my troubled mind
Goodbye's the only way in my troubled mind, my troubled mind
