"Trouble in Mind" is a vaudeville blues-style song written by jazz pianist Richard M. Jones. It became an early blues standard, with numerous renditions by a variety of musicians. Although singer Thelma La Vizzo, with Richard M. Jones on piano, first recorded the song in 1924, Bertha "Chippie" Hill popularized the song with her 1926 recording, also with Jones on piano, and trumpeter Louis Armstrong.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm going down to the river
I'm going top take me a rocking chair
and if the blues don't leave me, I rock on away from here - Published by
