[Cornet solo: Louis Armstrong]

[Verse 1]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be always
The sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday

[Verse 2]
I'm all alone at midnight
And the lights are burnin' low
Never had no much
Trouble in my life before

[Verse 3]
Trouble in love done quit me
And it sure do grieve my mind
Somedays I feel like living
Sometimes I feel like dyin'

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad iron
And let the 2:19 train
Satisfy my mind
[Verse 1]
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be always
The sun's gonna shine
In my back door someday
