From the recording Got the Blues
Lyrics
TROUBLE IN MIND BLUES traditional
Trouble in mind, oh I’m blue
But I won’t be blue always
‘Cause the sun’s gonna shine in
My back door some day.
I’m gonna lay, lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let that 2:19 special
Pacify my mind.
I’m all alone, at midnight
And my lamp is burnin’ low
I never had so much trouble
In my life before.
I’m gonna lay, lay my head
On that lonesome railroad track
But when I hear that whistle, Lord
Well I’m gonna keep from dyin’.
Look a here, sweet, sweet momma
I said see what you have done
Why you made me love you
Now your regular man has come.
Trouble in mind, oh I’m blue
But I won’t be blue always
‘Cause the sun’s gonna shine in
My back door some fine day.
