Lyrics for Trouble in Mind

Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be blue always I know the sun's going to shine In my back door someday I got that trouble in mind, that's true I have almost lost my mind Oh, life ain't worth living Sometimes I feel like dying Tell you what I'm gonna do I'm going to lay my hand On some lonesome, railroad line And oh, let that two-ten train Ease my trouble in mind Meanwhile, I got that Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be blue always Oh, I know the sun's going to shine In my back door someday If things don't get better I'm going down to the river I'm gonna take my old rocking chair Oh, and if the blues overtake me I'm gonna rock on away from here But now I gotta suffer with that Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I know I won't be blue always Oh, the sun's going to shine In my back door someday I'm not worried about it I know that's the sun's going to shine In my back door someday I know that the sun's going to shine In my back door someday, yeah
