Trouble In Mind

Lyrics: Richard Mariney Jones
Music: Richard Mariney Jones

Chorus
I'm troubled in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
You know the sun gonna shine
On my back door some day

I'm going down to the river
Take my old rockin' chair
If the blues don't take me
Gonna rock away from here

[chorus]

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen
Satisfy my troubled mind

[chorus]

You know the sun gonna shine
In my backdoor some day

 

Played by Jerry with the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. Not to be confused with I'm Troubled, also played by Jerry Garcia.

Jerry Garcia Recordings:
31 Oct 1987 - Pure Jerry: Lunt-Fontanne - Jerry Garcia Band

 

Origins
This is often listed as "traditional" but is a jazz standard originally written by Richard M. Jones in the early years of the 20th century. It has been covered by a huge range of jazz, blues, rock and country performers.

The recording on "Pure Jerry: Lunt-Fontaine" lists the title as "Troubled In Mind" and the composer as "James Roots." This is a mistake: that is a completely different song, recorded by the Pilgrim Travelers.
