TROUBLE IN MIND
Janis Joplin


Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday

Now all you men's the same
But now I'm old enough to change my name
Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday

I'm gonna lay my head
On that lonesome railroad line
And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind

Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always
Child, that wind's gonna come and blow my blues away!

TROUBLE IN MIND (Jo Stafford)
Richard Myknee Jones

as recorded by Jo Stafford 
with Paul Weston and his Orchestra  
December 17th 1947


Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always,
For the sun will shine in my back door someday.

Trouble in mind, that's true,
I have almost lost my mind,
Life ain't worthwhile livin',
I feel like I could die.

Trouble in mind, trouble in mind,
I'm feelin' lonesome and blue,
Can't sleep at night for thinkin' over things that I've gone through.

I never had no trouble till that black cat crossed my path;
Trouble, how long will it last?

Trouble in mind, that's true,
I have almost lost my mind,
Life ain't worthwhile livin',
Feel like I could die.

Trouble, trouble, how long will it last?
Trouble, trouble, how long will it last?
