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.
