Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always,
'cause the sun's gonna shine round my back door someday.
I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna take me a rocking chair,
and if the blues don't leave, I'll rock on away from here.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always,
'cause the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday.
Trouble in mind, that's true, I have almost lost my mind,
life ain't worth living, I feel like I could die.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, my poor heart is healing slow,
I never had such trouble in my whole life before.
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line,
and let that 2:19 special ease my troubled mind.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always,
'cause the sun's gonna shine in my back door someday.
