Trouble In Mind (1945)
Lonnie Johnson · Complete Recorded Works 1937-47, Vol. 3-(1944-47) [1994]
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.
