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

Well trouble in mind, that's true
I've almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth my livin,
Lord I feel like I could die

I'm gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
Let the two nineteen train
Ease my troubled mind

Lord, lord, lord, lord trouble in mind
I'm blue, my poor heart is beating slow
Never had so much trouble in my life before
