Trouble in mind, and I'm blue Oh you know I won't be blue always You know the sun is gonna shine in my back door some day
I'm going down to the river Oh you know I'm gonna sit right down right down there, on the ground You know if I get to thinkin' about my baby, I wanna jump overboard and drown
Well I'm going back to Jackson Oh you know to my old Jackson, Tennessee Where you know your girls ain't doin' nothin' but makin' a fool of me
Well I'm going down to the railroad Oh you know I'm gonna lay my head right down on the railroad iron I'm gonna let the two-nineteen ease my worried mind
