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
