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.

4. KANSAS CITY BLUES


I been rockin' and reelin', Lord as long as I can be
Lord, the man that I love tryin' to make a fool out of me
Babe, I'm leavin', yeah I'm a-leavin' this mornin'
Goin' to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home

Now well I used to drink and I'm gonna buy a gallon
I'm gonna find me my man I say, get a pair of overalls
I'm leavin', yeah I'm gonna go to Kansas City, ha ha ha
Goin' to Kansas City, yeah, to make my man my own

I'll walk on Beauty Street with an idea I might stay
If she wants my man I'll just change my ways
Lord I'm leavin', yeah I'm leavin' this mornin'
Goin' to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home
Go ahead, take it!

5. HESITATION BLUES


Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, Lord I know I won't mind

How long, dear do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear must I hesitate?

Well now, eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust"
You say you won't obey me, you wanna see the dollar first

How long dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now dear, must I hesitate?

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

How long dear do I have to wait?
Why can I get you now, dear must I hesitate?

Now there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea
I know you mean the whole world to me

How long dear must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear must I hesitate?

I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes
Lord knows I got them hesitation blues

Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
Why can I get you now, dear must I hesitate?
Yeah!
U

6. (STRUMMING)


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


7. DADDY, DADDY, DADDY


Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
Lord, that's daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, my daddy daddy's on my mind

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

Well, if your daddy likes walkin', honey, walks five miles a day
Yeah, if your daddy likes walkin', walks five miles a day
No matter what he wants, child, he walks off far way

Oh, it's daddy, daddy, daddy, Lord, it's daddy, daddy, all the time
It's my daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, all the time
If I'm awake or if I'm dreamin' Lord, daddy daddy's on my mind

Well, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
Yeah, I got a lovin' daddy, treats me like a daddy should
You know he kisses me at bed time, gives me candy when I'm good

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