Trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's gonna shine in my backyard someday
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
And let that midnight special pacify mind
[ piano ]
Trouble in mind I'm blue I have almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin' sometimes I feel like dyin'
I'm goin' down to the river goin' to take a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me I'll rock away from here
[ guitar ]
Trouble in mind I am blue my ole heart is beatin' slow
I never had so much trouble in my life before
My dear gal she done cut me and it sure does grieve my mind
When you'd see me laughin' it's laughin' to keep from cryin'
