Lyrics

(1927) richard jones

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'
