[Verse 1]
Troubled in mind, I'm little blue
Bet you, I won't be blue always
'Cause that ol' sun's gonna shine
On Jerry Lee Lewis's, back door step someday

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna lay my head
On somebody's lonesome railroad line
Let that ol' midnight special
Ease my troubled mind

[Verse 3]
Well, they tell me that old graveyard
Is a mighty lonesome place
Lord, they put you six feet under
Well, goodbye, baby, may God bless you

[Verse 4]
And may He bless ol' Killer a little bit too
Oh, don't meet you over yonder, baby
When they throw that Jerry right over you
Troubled in mind, when I'm little blue

[Verse 5]
Bet you I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
On, on my back door step
Some lowdown, lonesome, mother humpin' day
