Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my back door some day

Trouble in mind, I'm slow
My poor heart is beating so slow
I never had so much trouble
In my life before, yeah

I'm going down to the river
Gonna get me a rocking chair
If the Lord don't help me
I'm gonna rock away from here

Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day

Trouble in mind, well, I'm blue, yeah
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day

Well, I'm going down to the river
Gonna get me a rocking chair
If the Lord don't help me
I'm gonna rock away from here
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day

Yeah, the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day
Woah, sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day
