[Verse 1]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
For 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 livin', feel like I could die

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
Let that two-ninteen special ease my troubled mind
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My poor heart is beating slow
Never had no trouble in my life befo'

[Verse 3]
I'm goin' down to the river
Gonna take me a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me I'll rock on away from here
