[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, and I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's a gonna shine in my back door someday
Trouble in mind, and its true
My old heart is beatin' slow
I ain't never had so much trouble in my life before

[Verse 1]
I'm going down to the river
I'm gonna take a rocking chair
And if the blues don't leave me, I'm gonna rock away from here

[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, and I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
For the sun's a gonna shine in my back door someday
Trouble in mind, and its true
My old heart is beatin' slow
I ain't never had so much trouble in my life before

[Verse 2]
My good gal, done gone and left me
Well it sure do worry my mind
Sometimes I feel like laughin'
Sometimes I feel like cryin'
I'm gonna lay my head
Down on some lonesome railroad line
And let the midnight special
Satisfy my weary mind

[Chorus]
Trouble in mind, and I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
For the sun's a gonna shine in my back door someday
