1. TROUBLE IN MIND


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!


2. LONG BLACK TRAIN


Here comes a long black train, Lord,
Right by my back door again.
Here comes a long black train,
It's right by my back door again.
Now that's the same ol train, now,
Took my two best friends.

Lord, that train start off slowly,
My tears they keep streamin' down.
Lord, that train start off slowly,
My tears keep streamin' down.
I cried "Oh, Lord, why was I left
In this God forsaken town?"
So I said "Please, Mr. Conductor,
Won't you let me ride your train?
Oh, please, please, please, Mr. Conductor,
Let me ride on your train."
He said, "This train ain't mine, you're
Askin me in vain."

"Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you
Let me ride your line,
Ride your line?
Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you
Let me ride on your line?"
He said, "I mourn my heartbreaker
Now, this ain't no train of mine."

I watch the headlights shinin'
Far as my eyes could see.
I watch the headlights shinin'
Far as my eyes could see.
Wonderin' why, oh why that someone
Never sent for me.

Here comes a long black train, lord
Right by my back door again.
Here comes a long black train,
It's right by my back door again.
Now, that's the same ol' train, now
Took my two very best friends.

You say you won't obey me, you wanna see the dollar first

How long dear, do I have to wait?

Lord, if the river was made of whisky I was a duck
I'd just swim to the bottom and I'd never come up

I know you mean the whole world to me

7. NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT


Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire,
spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne wine

Then one day I began to fall so low,
didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

No, nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny,
and your friends, well, you haven't any

Soon as I get back up on my feet again,
everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

No, nobody knows you, honey, when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny,
and your friends, well, you haven't any

Then you get back up on your feet again,
everybody wants to be your long lost friend
It's might strange without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, honey, when you're down and out

Well, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Yeah, I brag 'bout my daddy to all the women that I see
Never say those damn women Lord, they're tryin' to steal my daddy away from me

That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
That's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or just dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind
