Trouble in mind, I’m blue
But I won’t be blue always,
’cause the sun’s gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.

I’m all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin’ low
Ain’t never had so much
Trouble in my life before.

Trouble in mind, that’s true
I have almost lost my mind,
Life ain’t worth livin,
Sometimes I feel like dyin’.

Goin’ down to the river

Gonna take my ol’ rockin’ chair
And if the blues don’t leave me
I’ll rock away from there.

You been a hard-hearted mama
Great god! you been unkind
Gonna be a cold, cold papa
Cause you to lose your mind.

I’m gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen
Pacify my mind.

Well it’s trouble, oh trouble
Trouble on my worried mind,
When you see me laughin’
I’m laughin’ just to keep from cryin’.
