Trouble in the Mind — текст песни (Nina Simone)

(1927) Richard Jones

Trouble in mind, I`m blue
But I won`t be blue always,
`Cause the sun`s gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.

I`m all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin` low
Ain`t never had so much
Trouble in my life before.

Trouble in mind, that`s true
I have almost lost my mind,
Life ain`t worth livin,
Sometimes I feel like dyin`.

Goin` down to the river
Gonna take my ol` rockin` chair
And if the blues don`t leave me
I`ll rock away from there.

You been a hard-hearted mama
Great God! You been unkind
Gonna be a cold, cold papa
Cause you to lose your mind.

I`m gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen
Pacify my mind.

Well it`s trouble, oh trouble
Trouble on my worried mind,
When you see me laughin`
I`m laughin` just to keep from cryin`.
