Trouble in mind, I'm blue
 
 But I won't be blue always,
 
 You know the sun's gonna shine
 
 And brighten my backdoor some day.
 
  
  I'm all alone at midnight
 
 And my lamp is burnin' low
 
 I Ain't never had so much
 
 Trouble in my mind before.
  
 
 Trouble in mind, it's true
 
 I have almost lost my mind,
 
 When I get a little up front,
 
 I always end up behind.
  
 
 I'm Goin' down to the river
 
 I'm gonna take my rockin' chair
 
 And if the blues don't leave me
 
 I'm gonna rock away from there.
  
 
 Oh You, you've been a mean and evil woman
 
 Yeah you, you sure did treat me unkind
 
 Well, I'm gonna be your hard hearted daddy
 
 I'm gonna' make you lose your mind.
  
 
 Yeah I got trouble, trouble, oh trouble
 
 I got trouble on my weary mind,
 
 When you see me laughin'
 
 I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'.
  
 
 Trouble in mind, I'm blue
 
 But I won't be blue always,
 
 Cause you know the sun's gonna shine
 
 And brighten my backdoor
 
 I said the sun's gonna shine
 
 And brighten my backdoor
 
 I said the sun's gonna shine
 
 And brighten my backdoor someday
