"Trouble In My Mind" lyrics

Mavis Staples & Levon Helm Lyrics

"Trouble In My Mind"
(originally by Thelma La Vizzo)

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
Cause the sun's going to shine in my back door some day
I got that trouble in mind that's true
I have almost lost my mind
Never had so much trouble in my life before

I'm going down to the river
Going to take my ol' rockin' chair
And if the blues overtake me I'm going to rock on away from here
I'm all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burning low
Ain't never had so much trouble in my life before

I'm going to lay, lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
Let the two nineteen train ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
I know the sun's going to shine in my back door some day

Trouble in mind, yes I'm blue
I have almost lost my mind
But the sun's going to shine in my back door some day
Cause the sun's going to shine in my back door some day
Yes the sun's going to shine in my back door some day
Some day
