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'. |
