(Richard M. Jones)

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor someday.

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19 train
Pacify my mind.
Hello train, hello.

--- Instrumental ---

(Goin' down to the river
Gonna take me a rockin' chair)
And if the blues don't leave me
I'll rock away from here.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My old heart is beatin' slow
I ain't had so such trouble
In my life before.
Trouble, trouble, trouble.

My good gal she done quit me
And it sure does grieve my mind
When you see me laughin'
It's laughin' to keep from cryin'...
