[Chorus]
Trouble in mind
I’m blue
But I won’t be blue always
Because the suns gonna shine
On my back door, someday

[Verse 1]
I’m going down, to the river
I’m gonna bring me my rocking chair
‘cuz if the blues don’t get me
I’ll rock myself away from here

You may think you’re tough
But that ruling class
Will come storming down the mountain, just to kick your ass
Leave you on the sidewalk, in the pouring rain
And shake you down for all your change

I’m going back to Tennessee, darling
Where my race is almost run

[Refrain]
But before I go
I’m gonna tell you ‘bout the trouble I want
Talk ‘bout it

[Verse 2]
You may think you’re tough
But that ruling class
Will storm on down the mountain, just to kick your ass
Leavе you on the sidewalk, in the pouring rain
And shakе you down for all your change

I’m going back to Tennessee, darling
Where my race is almost run

[Refrain]
But before I go
I’m gonna tell you ‘bout the trouble I want

[Chorus]
Trouble in mind
I’m blue
But I won’t be blue always
Because the suns gonna shine
On my back door, someday

Trouble in mind
(Ooh) I’m blue
And I won’t be blue no more
Because the suns gonna shine
On my back door
