"Trouble In Mind" lyrics

Janis Joplin & Jorma Kaukonen Lyrics

"Trouble In Mind"

Trouble in mind
Lord I'm blue
Oh naw, I won't be blue always (ha-ha-ha)
Sun gonna shine in my
Lord, shine in my back door someday

I'm gonna lay
Lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 train
Ease my troubled mind

Trouble in mind (oh oh)
Lord I'm blue now
I won't be blue always!
Yeah that sun's gonna shine in my
Lord, shine in my back door someday

I'm going down
Going down to the river
I'm gonna bring along my rocking chair
And then if these blues don't leave me
Lord I'll have to rock away from here

Trouble in mind
Trouble in m-i-I'm blue now
Oh I won't be blue always!
Yeah that sun's gonna shine in my
Lord, shine in my back door someday

I'm all alone
I'm alone at midnight
The lamp is burning low
I never had so much trouble
Not in my whole life that I've had before!

Trouble in mind oh-oh-oh-ah
Lord I'm blue now
I won't be blue always!
Yeah that wind's gonna come
And it's gonna blow all
My blues away!
