Trouble In Mind

Words & Music:

Richard M. Jones & Chippie Hill

 

CHORUS:

           A    A7         E   E7

Trouble in mind, Lord, I'm blue,

      D9              D   D7

But I won't be blue always.

           A

'Cause the sun's gonna shine

E  E7      F    E   A     E

On my back door someday

 

Look here, sweet mama, see what you've gone & done.

You've made me love you and now your regular man has come.

 

CHORUS:

 

Well, you sure been a mean-hearted woman; you treated me unkind.

Now, I'm gonna be mean-hearted, too, and make you lose your mind.

 

CHORUS:

 

Trouble, oh, trouble.  I got trouble on my mind.

When you see me laughin', I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'.

 

CHORUS:

 

I went down to the river, took along my rockin' chair.

And if the blues don't leave me, I'll rock along from there.

 

CHORUS:

 

I'm gonna lay, lay my head on some sad, old railroad iron.

I'm gonna let that 2:19 just pacify my mind.

 

CHORUS:
