Trouble In Mind (Version 2)

by Big Bill Broonzy recording of 19 from, Trouble in mind, I'm blue, but won't be blue always 'Cause the sun's gonna shine, in my back door some day I'll gonna lay my head, on a lonesome railroad line, and let the 2:19 pacify my mind I'm all alone at midnight, and my lamp is turning low Never had so much trouble in my life before I'll gonna lay my head, on that lonesome railroad track But when I hear that whistle, Lord, I'm gonna pull it back You've been a hardheaded daddy, and you sure treat me unkind I'll be a hardheaded mama, I swear I'll make you lose your mind I'm going down to the river, take along my rocking chair And if the blues don't leave me, I'll rock on away from here Look here, sweet mama, see what you have done You made me love you, now your regular man done come Trouble in mind, I'm blue, trouble on my worried mind When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying
