Trouble In Mind - Lyrics - Janis Joplin

Janis Lyn Joplin was an American singer-songwriter who first rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her own backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. Her first ever large scale public performance was at the Monterey Pop Festival; this led her to becoming very popular and one of the major attractions at the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour. Joplin charted five singles; other popular songs include: "Down on Me"; "Summertime"; "Piece of My Heart"; "Ball 'n' Chain"; "Maybe"; "To Love Somebody"; "Kozmic Blues"; "Work Me, Lord"; "Cry Baby"; "Mercedes Benz"; and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".

Trouble in mind, Lord I'm blue Honey I won't be blue always, Sun's gonna shine in my, Lord, shine in my back door someday. I'm gonna lay, Lay my head On that lonesome railroad line, And let the 219 train Ease my troubled mind. Trouble in mind Lord I'm blue, now, I won't be blue always Yeah, that sun's gonna shine in my, Lord, shine in my back door someday. I'm goin' down, Goin' down to the river, I'm gonna reel on my rockin chair. Hon', and if these blues don't leave me, Lord, I'll have to run away from here. Trouble in mind, Trouble in mind, I'm blue now, I won't be blue always, Yeah, that sun's gonna shine in my, Lord, shine in my back door someday I'm all alone, I'm alone at midnight, The lamp is burnin low I never had so much trouble Darlin', in my whole life I lived before Trouble in mind Lord I'm blue, now, I won't be blue always. Yeah, that wind's gonna come, It's gonna blow my blues away
