Lonnie Johnson - Trouble In Mind (1945) lyrics

Trouble in mind, trouble in mind, I'm feelin' lonesome and blue, Ted.

Leavin' my frustrations, over things I've gone through.

I never had no trouble, till that black cat crossed my path.

Ah, trouble in mind, how long will it last? [this line sung by Lonnie Johnson]

Trouble in mind, I'm blue.

But I won't be blue always,

'Cause the sun ‘s goin' shine, in my back door someday.

Trouble in mind, that's true.

I've almost lost my mind,

Sometimes I feel like livin', sometimes I feel like dyin'.

I'm gonna lay my head,

On some lonesome railroad iron,

Let the two-nineteen train ease my trouble in mind.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,

My poor heart is beatin' slow.

Never had so much trouble in my life before.
