Píseň: Trouble In Mind

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
My Kind Of Blues
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
 But I won't be blue always
 I know the sun's going to shine
 In my back door someday


 I got that trouble in mind, that's true
 I have almost lost my mind
 Life ain't worth living
 sometimes I feel like dying


 tell you what I'm gonna do
 I'm going to lay,
 On some lonesome, railroad line
 and let two-ten train
 ease my trouble in mind


 meanwhile I got that
 Trouble in mind, I'm blue
 But I won't be blue always
 I know the sun's going to shine
 In my back door someday


 if things don't get better
 I'm going down to the river
 I'm gonna take my old rocking chair
 and if the blues overtake me
 I'm gonna rock on away from here


 Trouble in mind, I'm blue
 But I won't be blue always
 I know the sun's going to shine
 In my back door someday


 I'm not worried cause I know
 I know the sun's going to shine
 In my back door someday


 I know the sun's going to shine
 In my back door someday
